    I am renovating a farmhouse in Cork at the moment. The roof is up and insulation is going in soon. I was at the house at the weekend and there seem to be at least two birds nesting there.

    One is a house-martin or a swift (I'm not great on identifying birds) which has a nest in the rafters. The other is like a small blackbird (without the yellow beak) which looks like it has a nest behind the faciaboard (it flew in with worms in its beak) and was agressively defending the area from a local cat who was bemused by the whole thing.

    I have builders on site who will need to work on those areas shortly - what can I do to persuade the birds to leave of their own accord and take nests with them?

    Play a Chesny HALKS record,

    I am the one and only!!

    more seriously, look into a treatment that will fool the "prey" into thinking there are predators around. think I heard Joe Duffy spouting on about this about a year ago,

    Thanks. Any idea how I'd go about doing that?

    Pet shop, I'd imagine they deal with those requests.

    try a nature forum
