Great idea except this is a metal awning on the second floor and the building is brick. No access to it.

I’ve enjoyed having them without a doubt. The awning seems to attract birds every year that perch up in there but this is the first I’ve seen them build a nest. I hope they’re successful.

They're determined little buggers. They'll find a way, now or next time. Sparrows usually breed twice per season, even more often sometimes/some places.

On the other hand, sometimes birds are really bird-brained. We had a beautiful pair of pigeons who nested on our balcony one year, and hatched-out two babies.

We came home one day, and one baby was completely disappeared; and a few days later, we found the remaining baby decapitated on the floor, parents gone. Crows! The pigeons had nested too openly, and were too vulnerable to predators.

'Nature, red in tooth and claw' and all o' that...
