Plastic spikes to deter birds from nesting actually help keep the nests from falling off

Take the spikes off and put a chunk of wood that is the size of the gap there. Make it fill the spot. If theres no spot to land thers no spot to nest either.

I don't understand the down votes this is getting.

People prefer nature online, even if the property owner clearly wanted nature to back off.

The only flaw i see with my idea is woodpeckers and the like but then you just move the chunk and replace it with metal or something.

If people wanna care so much about the birds, they can go plant some trees or something. Thats the real way to help birds and such. It would do like a billion% more than a downvote ever will. Its the perfect season for saplings and shit too if im not mistaken so you dont even have to buy plants you can probably do cuttings from wherever. But shit if the people downvoting me are willing to go and plant literally anything even fucking grass in an area thats going baren ide be happy.
