Don't.

How can I get rid of birds nesting in my Christmas wreath?
you could try putting a rubber snake in it,an australian town got swamped with starlings recently,they tried the snakes in trees %26amp; they worked.
Reply:didn't you hear? birds nesting in a christmas wreath is Good Luck! you should see how many babies survive, and that is how many extra thousands of dollars you are going to get next year! But if you destroy them you will also destroy your good luck and you will incurr financial losses during the year.





Just a superstition. putting shoes on a dining table is also bad luck, while rain on a weddind day is good luck so people are happy when it rains instead of getting all complainy and angry about it, that sort of thing.





why do you *want* to get rid of them?


most ppl are happy to see a bird nest and they take pictures of the wonderful babies and show it to ppl!





i once got a christmas card that someone made for me from a photo of birds nesting in their christmas wearth, and while the other cards all went into the dust bin, THAT one got framed!
Reply:Put the wreath around a cats neck.
Reply:WHY?? Are they doing any harm there? Why would you deprive cold little birds of a place to sleep?
Reply:awwwww......they just want to be close to Jesus this time of year....





My wreath is on my door, and I cant imagine them wanting to be there. Frogs like it though.





If it happened to me, I would probably move the nest to the tree and spray my wreath with lysol or some unnatural scent to see if that works. Otherwise, I'd just have to go hang my wreath in a tree that year.
Reply:Please don't. Much better to take a good photograph of it and send it in to your local newspaper as a nice little Christmas story.





Buy a new Christmas wreath. After all birds can have squatter's rights too, and if you hadn't made your wreath so available, the birds would have found somewhere else to go.





The spirit of Christmas dictates that you try to be kind to all of God's creatures, whenever you can. Why not start here? They mean you no harm.
Reply:Why would you want to? Other than opening and closing the front door? Move it to a post or tree trunk and let them have it for the season...decorate your door with something else. I'd feel lucky and blessed if some wild creature took refuge and made something of mine their home...
Reply:y would u want to....


just scare them away i guess
Reply:You could scare them out of it every time they go on it, and put something that pops out every time someone touches it.
Reply:hang a dead cat next to it. It works like a scarecrow.
Reply:You could try adding something that scares them to the wreath, but please don't kill them like others have suggested.





You could try something like Irri-tape: http://www.bird-x.com/products/itape.htm





Or put a netting around your wreath.





Good luck, and happy holidays!
Reply:You can't.





Merry Christmas!
Reply:Try the rubber snake it works. Peace and God bless
Reply:Why would you want to do that?It is a wonderful thing that the wreath that you put out for display of your christmas spirit can be the home of a poor homeless bird family.Just wait them out-they will leave when they are done with it and just be glad they didnt come with your tree that is in your living room!
Reply:why would you want to????????? Christmas is about sharing and they seem like they want to be with you...buy them some nuts.........and enjoy ...........
Reply:Why would you want to? That sounds so cool!





I suppose you could just remove their nest. They aren't likely to rebuild in the same spot.
Reply:Why would you want to? Be honoured the birds are nesting in your wreath, it won'y kill you to do without your wreath this year, but it might kill the birds, and their babies if you unneccessarily evict them.
Reply:cool i like birds and wish they nest on my tree insted
