i had to do something similar a few years ago when they wouldn’t stop nesting in the mechanical joint section of my rear retractable awning
they would nest and if I wanted to open it, would mean crushing the birds
but then in the meantime they shit everywhere below on my deck
first attempt at deterrence I put this this sticky stuff meant to dissuade them but they found a spot
then the next year i put metal spikes but they worked around it
then i went nuclear with an over the top combo of both, and when I saw them beginning to build just kept breaking it apart mid construction
they were pissed
sad moment though was finding one of the parents in the back corner significantly wounded in the leg from the sticky stuff
dude was in a bad way and looked up at me like he stepped on a land mine like ‘why did you do this’
i took a shovel and had to finish him off
i still remember the look in his eyes
not proud
moral of the story: next time i would just focus on breaking up the nest before it is complete and they will prob learn to not come back
and avoid all the machinery of death and deterrence

I had to kill some baby birds last year after their terminally stupid bird parents built their nest in my wife’s wreath on our front door, and now it seems I’m gonna have to kill whole families of finches that have made nests in our deck awning. This time maybe I’ll mount their tiny heads on toothpicks to warm away their dumbass bird friends
Numbers that is exactly where these birds are nesting, in the retractable machinery. I read that various essential oils can repel them but a) most of them also attract insects and b) I’m not spraying oil all over my awning and siding just to save some Darwin Award candidate birds

i used Bird-B-Gone gel
it kind of worked
but kind of not
and if it drips down it's gonna stain whatever it touches
cutting the metal spikes into custom fitting sizes was a huge pain in the ass
just gotta go back there every day with a stick and knock their shit out
the birds have a time window where they gotta lay the egg, if they can't get that nest going they will go build it somewhere else
