Crocodilians are very protective of their nests and babies.  A crocodile I know laid a clutch of eggs which were taken from her to be incubated (this ensures their survival better than if she were to raise them on her own).  She continued to be protective of her nest and would charge zoo visitors from behind the glass of her exhibit.

Hey kiddo! I love to watch birds too! I put up a couple of hanging feeders from my tree. The squirrel proof one. It has springs on it so when a squirrel jumping on it, then feeders trays close. I've got squirrel food for them anyway, they can munch on their peanuts and sunflower seed chips.\nHave a great set of Binoculars. I've got a small set and keep them right on the window sill ready to use at a flying "What's was that?" moment. It's very relaxing to bird watch and a fun thing to do. Wish more kids did it, they probably be in a lot less trouble!\nIf your going to put up a feeder, figure out what birds are in your area, and buy the right feed that attracts them.\nSince your favorite is a Indigo Bunting and if there in your area my book says they like peanuts, millet and seeds. Fruits too. So throw some of that around and see what happens!\nHappy Bird Watching LOL\nSmileyCat : )\nThanks for the lesson on your favorite bird.\nI'll be talking to yha!

Typically they are protected and as the guy above said why would you want to?\n\nWhy don't you post another questions like, "How do I keep woodpecker from beating holes in my cedar siding and waking me up at 6:00 AM every morning?"\n\nHint - a product called Tangle-foot

because pigeons are too hard to catch

Some owls, like the eagle owl, will attack if you go near their nests with young. As they have heavy talons and a sharp beak they can be pretty dangerous.

Baby's are come from the stork.

Be careful! depending on where you live they may be protected and you could be fined or arrested for messing with them. I used to live in a neighborhood in Florida and the peacocks would roam free and there were laws protecting them.

The newborn is an eaglet.  Interestingly, usually only the first born will survive, the subsequent being eaten by the older, stronger sibling.  It is the natural killer instinct which is evident from the moment of hatching.  I had the pleasure of filming the hatching of eaglets several years ago in Manitoba.  It was professional footage which was sold to a very well known wildlife television show producer.  He in turn claimed it as his own work with very sly cutaways of climbing up a large rock.  However, he did pay my employer for it and he did own the footage to do with as he pleased.  That is how that business is done.

Once they've found food, they'll keep coming back. Make sure they can't get into your trash, etc. and they might go away but it's doubtful. You either have to trap them and move them somewhere else or kill them (I hate to say that). We've had the same issue at our lake property. They come and raid our bird feeders at night. The full time residents down there eventually kill them instead of trapping and moving them.

Many birds use the nests abandoned by others. The snug, safe cavities hammered in a tree by woodpeckers may be used by house wrens, tree swallows, screech owls, or bluebirds. The solitary sandpiper will raise its family in the old nest of a thrush or blackbird. \n\nSo I say keep the nest up there!

Don't take them. Try to stay out of an environment where they are around you.

Birds make nests on the ground in low bushes and shrubs.  They benefit from the protection without hurting the shrubs and bushes

Depends on the bird, but they settle down about nightfall and nest in trees, buildings, rooftops, bushes, and just about any other place of saftey they can find.  They work very hard at keeping their nests concealed, making them hard to find and they are often in places away from people. With some practace and a pair of binoculars, you'd be surprized how many nests you could find though.  Especially in the spring when the birds are flying back and forth to their nests to feed their chicks!

Believe it or not, Jacks got a good idea, but if that isn't practical for you try this: get some hose and cut it into 3 and 4 foot lengths. Put them out in the field when not in play. They might believe the hose pieces to be snakes and not land there at all. This trick has acutally worked in some places. \n\nThere is an airport where a dog was employed to keep geese away from the end of the runway. It worked.

One of the ways you can reduce Beaver damage is to put up some chickenwire around the base of the trees. You only need it to go about four feet up. That'll keep em from knawing it to heck and back.
