We Have A Problem

For the past few weeks we have had two sparrows trying to build a nest in our awning.
This is on our deck and we really don't want this mess there. Every day we tear it out and every day they put it back. It is amazing how much nest building two birds can do in one day. Then a few days ago we saw them mating. I said to Mary were going to have problems. I don't know for sure but I think the birds inner clock tells them to build a nest right before mating season.
We keep telling them to go make a nest some other place but they keep coming back.

This morning this is what we found on our deck. Momma sparrow is starting to lay her eggs but does not have a nest. Now what do we do???

Why would she lay her eggs if she didn't have a nest?! Silly bird...

I don't have the Dewitt hunting unstinct.....so, let them build the nest, let the grandkids see the baby birds. I know Ron wouldn't agree with me on this one.
