The doves on top of the garage door opener have hatched their eggs. We think there are just 2 babies. They must have been there for a while before we knew of them because they are fully feathered and quite big. Here we have been thinking we were unique in having a nest on our garage door opener, but several of the couples in the neithborhood say they have had the same experience. I guess we will have to figure out some way to discourage them from doing this again. One man said he put a box on top of his garage door opener, but they just built their nest on the box. We will let them stay til they leave on their own, but would like them not to come back next nesting season. They do make somewhat of a mess. Any ideas?

Awe, cute baby birds. I've seen on the buildings on campus where they don't want birds to nest they put big metal spikes of some kind.
So we have to come up with some metal spikes.
