well??? HOW DID IT WORK!? I'm in desperate need to know!!!! :)

I tried both snakes and wooden skewers last year and neither worked.

Curious, would you be able to provide an update as to how this worked out? We are not bird haters either, but after we had an infestation of bird mites which ended up hospitalizing our child who was bitten (who has an immune disorder) we don’t want them nesting on our house, but we can’t hang plants because they have been building nests. Thanks! Also, ya, a quick glance at the clip and it did look like you were hitting them off a live animal. Lol

I had house sparrows nest in my fern last year. Their nest takes up no room and i watered around it. No bugs. When the season was over i put the ferns in the trash (October) and someone took them! They still looked good. My house sparrows are back this year and they are building away. I love hearing the male singing his little heart out on my weeping cherry tree!

GREAT IDEA!!! I’m with you, I LOVE BIRDS!!! I keep a fountain running 24/7 for them and have even planted sunflowers as well as several grasses with seed heads. But here in the Phoenix desert they are accustomed to eating cactus for water and nutrition and even though I am supplying both - they still go for my succulents😮😢😮. I have been looking for a way to keep the birds out of my pots and this just might do it!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Omg this was happening to me! I just recently found your channel. Love all your diy.

Yes I have this problem now . Thanks for the tip !!

lol Poor lizard! no legs!!! very cute idea. No worries I would do the same, I love birds but sometimes you also have to take care of your plans. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Lol I like your lizard alternative to the snake! I hope it all works and you keep the birds out this year! Good luck 👍

You crack me up thanks for the laugh.

Any tips on stopping Blackbirds building a nest in my Hosta plant ? Should I remove the partly built nest ?

Have the same problem but with a house Finch, what did You do ? A part of me want to see the egg and the birds but the other me want my ferm alive

I just bought 2 ferns to hang. Yours look amazing! Question: how often do I suppose to water them and during what time of day?

Give us an update on how it's working. I'm thinking of putting hanging ferns on my back patio area. Thanks!

Thank you!

LOL! You totally cracked me up with the lizard! Hope this works for you!

Dollar Tree had no snakes but I did get 3 black alligators and 2 orange lizards. Thanks for the idea!😀

I loveeee what you hung them in so did you end up switching over to put in something else . Can some let me know where she got them they look like wicker hangers or something

And also DID IT WORK 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I hope it did

Good idea on the kabob sticks. Google rubber snake and you will find them. Love your channel.

Yes you made me giggle and its Monday where I am possum🐥🐤🐣

Well did it work?I hope so,,, I'm gonna do it

I’m having the same issue! I have to take them down during the day and it’s annoying. I put up multiple bird houses and they still want my plants.

Will be trying your tips. Wonder if small pine cones might work, also?? My gorgeous impatiens hanging basket is dead. Birds built nest immediately, so I didn't want to disturb by watering. Wish I had known how to prevent. I have a bunch of wd skewers in a kitchen drawer. DUH. Side note: When my now adult kids were little, I bgt teddy bear shaped graham cookies. My two little girls started squealing, yelling NO NO, "How can you eat the legs/arms off of the bears, Mommy??!!!!" I felt so badly like a real time murderer.

did it work?

I love this idea and have frequently run into the same problem. Thank you for sharing this non harmful way to save our plants without hurting any birds in the process.

Thank you the same thing happens to me!

When you find rubber snakes....just warn your guets before hand. We did that once....and i can tell you their reaction to seeing "snakes" in hanging baskets totally freaked them out, which i would probably do as well....enjoy your ferns.

Did it work?

I've done this for years hoping that one day it would finally work. It did nothing at all. The birds simply picked and chewed at the wooden sticks until there was a big enough opening to nest. They even included the wood debris in building their nest. I gave up

Find rubber snakes in the toy dept. I have used the snake in the dryer vent. But, one smart mama bird was brave enough to go in the vent. She had her babies to feed. Any mama would do the same thing when her babies were crying.

Update pls: did that work?

The skewers didn’t work for me! The nest around them😭

Did it work???

I also tried using plastic take out forks but they found a way to make a nest anyway….ugh.

😂😂😂😂 those poor lizards !!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 chopping off lizards legs! Dying!! I hope this works. I have a problem with robins building a nest underneath my porch every year. Problem is the crows know and they attack the babies! Awful!

I bought a fern this time instead of flowers thinking it would be too bushy for birds to nest. 2 hours later I was wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️ I do like having nests and watching the baby birds but not in a plant I actually want lol because it just kills the plant after so long

chile just this morning i went to water my hanging plant and 4 baby birds fell out, after they dried off they flew away smh

I hope this works for you!

Didn’t work for me

I’ll take a basket with baby birds any day over a plant.

We will look back at this type of video and be aghast. No wonder wildlife is declining. If birds choose to nest in your plants it is illegal at least in UK to damage of destroy that nest. Instead of using garden as an extension of the living room treat it as it is- part of nature.

This was done to PREVENT--not to hurt birds already nesting.

Did it work?
