Birds make a mess of our carport - it’s like their own condo. I tear nests out every day. This is the heavy season. Go now, I’m tarping my canoe, trying to devise a cover for the entire rack and its occupants. I’m wondering if there’s not an effective deterrent to settlement. Maybe used cat litter. They just pooped on the fake owl I tried. No sure if birds act on scent but I’m going to give cat litter a shot. So far I’ve tried foam, wire, the plastic owl, smoke, water, noise and constant nest clearing. If baby chirps emerge, I admit defeat and leave the brood to occupy.
 
What are they building nests on? Put in wood blocks to make it less attractive?
 
They not only build nests on the decks of my overturned boats but one persistent robin kept trying to build on where the center thwart meets the hull.
I've seen posted here somewhere that you can put a beachball in your stems to displace them.
