Evil ones?

Hmm. Is this about baseball? I know enough to know that Yankees aren't birds and the Orioles haven't been a threat to anyone in a long time. Were they Blue Jays?

If it was on the ground, I'm thinking cute little baby bunnies :) I wouldn't disturb it either...that's just bad karma.

Cute until they eat everything in sight. 4 new rose and perennial eaters.

Our bunnies are health nuts - they just eat vegetables.

Hmm, how about surrounding it with a few dollops of nice smelly dog or cat food?

Surrounding the nest or do you surround the plants with it? We have plenty of dog AND cat food if they will keep them off of my plants!

What to do with rabbit nests? The babies wont do anything but the adults are mildly destructive. The do slight damage to new growth and in my case they have in the past during dry periods dug up and gnawed up my underground watering system to get the water in the pipes. Now of course I have a pond which attracts them even more but they leave the watering system alone. On balance, bunnies aren't that big a deal. If they are not interfering too much, let them raise their babies in peace.

Babies of any species are just too cute to hurt, aren't they? Although I remember my mom once found a nest of baby mice and she was pretty heartless, iirc.
I'm going to try keeping up with spraying home-made bunny repellent for my plants.

What about a ground hog - he's made hisself at home in my garden and I found one of my climbing roses eaten about a foot up. And what is the home spray for bunnies?

I think we originally made ourselves at home in their garden ;)

what is the home spray for bunnies

I'm trying out crushed garlic, pepper/hot sauce, one egg, and a few drops cooking oil in water to spray on seedlings/young plants so the bunnies or deer don't chomp them. First time I tried it I didn't realize I needed to strain it so my spray bottle clogged up. And I'm scattering bits of irish spring soap around the plants too.
Oh, and blood meal in little yogurt cups around, covered by rocks.
Hopefully all that will be stinky enough to make them choose the neighbors' plants instead. *innocent*
