Jerry - Winner!

Jerry won the battle! For several years now he has battled every spring. It's been a battle with the robins! Several years ago we watched with awe as the robins built a perfect nest on the beam of our front porch. Then we watched the mother robin sit on her eggs with the father watching near by. Finally one day we found egg shells on the porch floor and then we watched the baby robins crane their necks to be fed the worms their mother and father brought. It was so fun watching...until the babies grew big enough to sit on the edge of the nest and try to fly off. That part was okay but the mess they made on the floor of our porch was not okay! Oh, what a mess! So since that year, every spring Jerry has run a continuous battle with the robins to keep them from building a nest on our porch. Every morning he would be out clearing up the beginning of a nest. Then the robins became so insistent he was going out several times a day! The last couple of years he's had his leaf blower out blowing their nesting materials away. Last spring he left the blower on the porch so the minute they brought new material Jerry was out blowing it away. It became almost funny except I felt sorry for the robins until I remembered the mess on the porch several years ago. And now this spring we've not had a robin even look toward our porch! So Jerry won the battle!!!
