Angry birds

Momma does NOT like my jerry-rigging her maternity ward.  I made sure she returned to the nest after removing the stool, then secured the can to the hook and tied the pole base to a hole I made in the plastic planter.  It was the only large liner that fit into my planter, so no flowers in that this year!.  

We are expecting heavy downpours today and after yesterday's rain her little can couldn't take any more.  Another hook, a few more bricks, a trash can lid that now has a hole, and I think we tiptoed around her abode with success.  I had to add heavy stainless S hooks on the handle because the can was unbalanced and tilting.  I felt a little silly on the ground reaching up to add a hook, then another, and another, afraid to have a bird beak in my forehead.  The taller hook is not secure in the pot's dirt so we'll have to keep an eye on it.  Next step is getting a piece of wire fencing to surround this.
