Some months ago I was trimming some bushes near the house [I reported
on that spate of activity with a message headlined "Bush was out of
control!"] when I noted a bird nest in one of them. Being a nice
person, I marked that part of the bush off=limits even though the
nest was not at that time in use. Now, by way of thanks, it seems
that the same pair of mockingbirds has built a nest in the bush at my
mailbox, and in the spirit of protecting their nest, one of them
attacks me every time I go to or near the mailbox. Does anyone have
any suggestions of how to solve the problem which does not involve
destroying the nest and any eggs/babies which may be in it or waiting
until sometime in the fall after all the local birds have flown south
for the winter to next get my mail (even if that does sound like a
good way to deal with all the junk mail: just haul a trash can out
there every six months or so and empty the mailbox into it . . . )?
