The song that was stuck in my head this morning

Longtime Five Things readers are probably familiar with my constant battle with nature. First, it was voles. Or shrews. I'm still not really sure what it was that was tearing up our flower beds.

Then, it was moles. The jerks were making tunnels throughout our yard.

Then it was mice, making a nest inside our concrete patio steps, chewing through the wires of our decorative lights.

Now, I have a new adversary. A pair of robins.

Yes, robins. Those common birds with bright orange feathers on their chest.

This pair of robins has decided that my pergola is the best place to build their nest. It's not going to happen on my watch.

I'm more than happy to have lots of birds near my house. But my wife is scared of birds. She does't like their erratic behavior. So I'm not sharing my pergola with them. And I've planted way too many trees to be sharing my patio space.

But these robins have been relentless. For weeks my wife and I have been throwing away all the materials they have piled up to build a nest. We like to sit out there in the morning to enjoy our coffee before getting the day going.

And now they fly toward us hoping to get back to work on their would-be home. They sit on our kids' swing set, with grass and twigs in their beaks, waiting for a chance to fly into our pergola and build.

We finally decided to move a wind chime to the corner of the pergola the robins have determined belong to them. So far, it's worked. We've gone a few days without tossing a pile of dried grass and tiny sticks.

But the robins aren't happy about it. They still sit on the swing set. Staring at us with their beady little eyes.

I honestly don't know what it will take for them to get the point. There's no vacancy at the Demeropolis pergola.
