Dear Neighborhood Bird,

Our front door is not really an ideal place to build your nest. I know that it looks nice and that the wreath provides a nice foundation, but it’s really not a great idea. There are three problems that I can think of immediately. First, we use the front door to go into and out of our house. Consequently, we’d end up shaking your house repeatedly throughout the day. Second, we have two cats. Admittedly they aren’t the greatest of hunters, but I fear that they’d both be able to take out your babies, given the opportunity. And third, there’s that screen door. I know that we often leave it ajar when the front door is closed, but when the weather isn’t very hot (like now), we like to close the screen door and open the front door, to let the fresh air inside. This is what happened on Sunday, when you sat on the tiki torch, screaming at me through the closed door. I’m very sorry.

I’m glad to see that you haven’t laid any eggs in there, yet, so we still have a chance to move your nest. I don’t want to potentially break it by taking it out of the wreath, so I think that I’ll try to move both the wreath and the nest together as one unit later this evening. Maybe somewhere on the side of the house? That’d be nice, I’m sure.

Songfully,

Your Inadvertent Landlord
