I do have a "Moe", I've just never displayed Moe. Nicely done by the way!

I don't want to scare all my feathered friends away. I want to keep the Robins away from the vehicles. As you know it's super annoying and who has the money to go to the car wash every single day?

One year the siding came off the garage and it was hanging there, not really off or on. Some House Sparrows made a mansion off the hanging piece of siding. The Robins came in and destroyed the nest and ate the eggs. It was brutal. The House Sparrow came back and rebuilt without being terrorized.

The siding got put back on after nesting season.
