Bird nest secured atop a gutter downspout elbow under the eave at a residential property in Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney, Texas.

A bird nest is built atop the gutter downspout elbow under the eave at a home in Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney, Texas in August. Nesting birds can clog gutters, stain siding with droppings, attract mites, and create noise and health concerns for residents. Professional removal and deterrents such as netting or spikes are recommended to prevent re-nesting and protect the home’s exterior.
