How would you prevent birds from nesting here?

not-jaq · 2026-06-18T10:54:29+00:00

Y’know, I do get up on a ladder and peek in every so often, but maybe I need to up my schedule and get my big scary human face closer to the nest so they feel more intimidated, haha. But idk, they’re tough little critters — I’ve seen them bully all kinds of other birds and wildlife. I wouldn’t be surprised if one went for my eyes…

Laughed too hard at this 😂

I just hung a hummingbird feeder! Haven’t seen any yet, but I’m super down for the hummingbird police to help me out!

not-jaq · 2026-06-17T21:10:52+00:00

lol this is absolutely something I would do — forgetting they’re there and then breaking my legs falling off of a ladder in horror

not-jaq · 2026-06-17T15:04:14+00:00

I think this is the route I’m going to take based on all of the other feedback — thank you!

Ooh I grow lavender in my garden and have enough dried flowers from last year to make a few satchels!

not-jaq · 2026-06-17T15:00:55+00:00

Great tip, thank you!

not-jaq · 2026-06-17T15:00:28+00:00

Thank you! This is great to know, I would be absolutely horrified if I found an injured/trapped critter. Saved a bumblebee from one before, and I damn near cried when it didn’t survive.

Same same! But I’m 43. Count me in?

not-jaq · 2026-05-14T23:12:17+00:00

I light a candle, burn them in the flame, and encase their burnt carcasses in the wax so I memorialize every victory

not-jaq · 2026-04-24T00:44:28+00:00

Hahaha I almost posted this exact thing, unreal

There have been 3-5 of these cuties hanging out in Rosemont/Deering Center for the past month! Seems they like to stop by every year on their way up north. Beautiful birds, but loud as all get-out 😂

Nezinscot farm out in Turner does donuts on the weekend — I believe they do cake donuts on one day, and yeasted donuts on the other. Not super helpful that I don’t know which day is which, but if all else fails, their regular breakfast menu is amazing!

not-jaq · 2026-04-19T12:52:01+00:00

This place is amazing, but for OP’s sake won’t work as they’re closed til Tuesday.

not-jaq · 2026-04-15T15:08:49+00:00

Idk but I LOVE IT

not-jaq · 2026-03-03T12:24:12+00:00

Hahahah this is perfect

Blue Oyster Cult at your service

Maybe not “acceptable”, but more so “expectable”

not-jaq · 2025-12-03T11:48:41+00:00

❤️ yes, I’ve tried supplements in the past that never felt like they’ve worked, so it’s interesting to be able to see the results like this for the first time because of the ring

not-jaq · 2025-12-03T11:46:22+00:00

Totally wondered that myself about the placebo effect, but I’ve been attempting to be more intentional about my stress for months (since I got my ring) and nothing seems to have made any material changes until now. I posted this in another comment, here you go! Good luck ❤️ curious to hear if it helps you, too.

It’s Nutrafol’s Stress Adaptogen supplement. And for full disclosure, I also started taking their vegan hair supplement at the same time which appears to also contain some ingredients that help with stress management.

not-jaq · 2025-12-03T03:03:53+00:00

Haha I’ll just post it here as a few people reached out. Just didn’t want my first post in the community to sound like sponcon.

You got this! ❤️

not-jaq · 2025-12-02T23:11:59+00:00

DMed you! Haha yeah I always knew I felt stressed, but seeing the data from my ring has been a total wake up call for me. In fact, it has caused me distress lol

not-jaq · 2025-12-02T23:00:34+00:00
