"That'll certainly teach ya for bugging a poor bird (the type that flies, eats worms/bugs and lays eggs). Shame on u wolf*!" I wasn't doing it for my own entertainment although I can forgive you for thinking otherwise Kel. The motor for the hoist can get very hot after lifting the kind of weight it does over the course of the day. It may seem like a good idea for a bird to build a nest in a warm spot like this but you should see the mess we have to deal with if we don't evict them. I'm not joking when I say that the chicks are usually cooked alive.
