I think healingmagic has it right, house finches don't seem as messy as swallows. <br /><br />Those swallows, man. I used to get dive-bombed at my own front door, and the poop! Better not discussed. It was removed with a shovel, though, not a broom - that's the quantity.Genevievehttp://www.northcoastgardening.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-29963789794128489592009-08-03T20:54:37.797-07:002009-08-03T20:54:37.797-07:00I have house finches living in a bird nest gourd o...I have house finches living in a bird nest gourd on my back porch, and have never found them to be messy in any way.

(Use a needle to punch a hole on both sides, then blow. We did this as kids to create easter decorations). <br /><br />At least you won't have the mess to deal with, a friend tells me house finches are really bad. <br /><br />Might keep the nest, as decoration...Town Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.com
