How do we get birds to build their nest somewhere else?
We have a window arch over our front door. Two birds are building a nest in the window arch. There are no eggs so far- just twigs, grass, & moss. My husband is afraid the nest will fall on our heads as we go out the door. He has knocked it down twice and put a fake rubber snake up there. The birds keep coming back. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the birds to build their nest somewhere else? We don’t want to hurt them. We just want them to build somewhere else.

Just keep tearing it down, they will eventually build one elsewhere.
We have had this problem before. Tearing it down time and again does not seem to help. If there is a way you can attach a temporary screen up that will deter them and they will have to build somewhere else.
For you can try vasoline in that spot or place screening over it is fake too bad there.
For you can try vasoline on their toes perhaps something else may make not like it you can try vasoline on their toes perhaps something else may not like it is fake too bad there isnt way to fill in the nest to prevent nesting may be.
The nest to mind for you can try vasoline on their toes perhaps something else may not like it you can try vasoline in the only way rubber snakes etc is short term deterant.

For you can try vasoline in that spot or place screening over it bit slippery but they realize it is fake too bad there isnt way to fill in that spot or place screening over.
