We live under a cookery and the young are in the process of leaving the nest, so we're regularly herding them off the road as they hop around.

Finally, we had to put something on top to discourage them. Why they'd want to nest where people are always walking by is beyond me.

There seems to be a lot of activity and baby birds in my neck of the wood as well. There was a mother dove and her baby in one of my evergreens just this past week and I got a photo without disturbing them.
