Last week
laurabowers posted about her experience with birds in the dryer vent. Are the birds taking over?
Guess where I found this nest?

Guess where I found this nest?

Yes, in my grill!

In honor of my feathered friends, here's a poem I wrote last year when they stuffed the grill with sticks:
I listened as birds made a nest.
The outcome was worse than I'd guessed.
I opened the grill.
And found a straw hill.
Burgers without twigs taste the best.
So....what to do?? Should we go without grilling until they hatch, or move the nest and hope mommy bird comes back?

I think you could probably movethe nest, but just in case, google a wildlife center to be sure. I know there are a bunch of sites out there!!
Great picture!!
it won't be that long
this is like a gift :)
And, they are sooo neat to watch!
I say leave 'em. But put up a "no vacancy" sign next year!
