Thats one heck of a nest, it must be a strong bird. Is it a European blackbird or an African blackbird

Bummer. That is all you need, some single mum shackled up in your shed.

Yeah, too right, not with the other one under the patio already

Picture

Here's the nest:



No sign of mum since I set the camera up, all the commotion may have scared her off

I can't see. The nest is approx 7 feet above the floor. But I suspect not - she's still bringing nest building stuff to the shed. I just looked outside and she's having some malarkey with a male nearby, so eggs may be on the way shortly!

On the upside, I am led to believe that Blackbird Egg Omelettes are extra yummy.
Circle of Life innit?

You've eaten all those

I've eaten a few less than you Herr ChubMeister!

Jesus would bomb the nest into dust and then re-build it ensuring lucrative nest re-construction contracts went to the right companies with beneficial terms for future egg supplies.

Looking on the "moving bird's nest" forum is that moving a nest means the bye bye baby birds. Apparently though they should be up and running in a month, so put plenty of newspapers and plastic sheeting around on the floor and wait a month.

Then after the babies have flown away block the place up so the adult can't return next year.

Anyway least it's not pigeons (vermin) or robins (noisy) or ducks (noisy but funny if they are a mile from the pond) ..........

Oi Shirley! 4 and 20!

Two dozen innit?

A neighbour once found a Victorian country house cookbook and it was full of recipes with those kind of quantities.

Obviously all the staff needed feeding as well.

From the thread title I thought you were going to tell us you had woken up with a munter and needed help deciding whether to wake her up and deal with it or gnaw your own arm off to escape

tee hee the thought that the thread title might be slightly misleading never crossed my mind

[Churchill]

Oi Shirley! 4 and 20!

Apparently so.

I think 5 and 20 parses better.

Also a slightly bigger pie!

Excellent, there I was thinking you were going to suggest getting the butler to remove the nest, but no, much funnier

Obligatory "Your a contractor" comment.

Get your butler to do it by tying the clothes to his arms and spinning around in circles in the garden until they are dry.
