So glad you asked........they usually nest and lay eggs in early Spring, buth they have been building nests since April and they dump twigs, weeds, etc. all over my patio....I was getting sick of this so one day a gigantic wind storm blew everything off my patio.....Well, i have a ceiling fan on the patio and this is where the birds like to build their nest, i.e, on the blades of the fan so there goes the fan turning and swirling from the wind.....After the wind and dust finally subsided, I noticed the birds were flying very erratically and kept losing altitude and almost crashing on ground.....I soon realized that they were dizzy and acting like they were drunk......I felt very bad for them.....then this guy from the State Fish and Game depart knocked on my door and said something about he had heard I was contributing to the delinquency of minor birds........I said, no, that I am a former employee of the US Forest Service and I know I can get a fine if I feed the wildlife.
He refused to believe I was innocent and he fined me for contributing to the delinquincy of these crazy birds. Maybe they should learn how to fly before they decide to nest on the blade of a fan, get dizzy and fall all over the place. I don't even know what kind of bird it is, they are very noisy and a little bigger than a dove and have a big ole' pecker......
Thanks for asking! and they gather enough twigs to start a bonfire on your patio or deck.....Sorry, I didn't understand why you posted the little Santa Claus......but, i do have a story about that, too, but can't stay much longer.
