Can you be more specific?

But it dpends on the situtation, if they're roosting there then you can always call somebody to remove them or put something upthere so they can't roost over your door.

But if they have a nest, just leave it until the birds are old enough to be on their own, once that's done the nest can be removed and something can be put up there to prevent the same birds or others from nesting above the door.

My folsk used to have some Turtle doves nesting in a hanging plant years ago, the doves would come back every year but around the 4th generation they stopped coming back. So if the birds have a nest just leve it for a while, ya might find it interesting to watch them, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take pictures, ether.

nd by the way what kind of birds are thtese anyway?

My aunt in New York has pigeons on her roof which is pretty common.

You can go to the toy department in any store and get a rubber snake. Then just put it up where the birds are coming in. But if there is a live nest, then at least wait till the babies are off on their own.

I had the same problem with swallows nesting above my front door, attacking all visitors. I hung up a simple wind chime, and they left. It's one of those metal wind chimes that is reflective...

Hope that helps.
