As much as I love all the birds here, they do carry diseases and parasites. I don't want them near my porch or on the house anywhere. I don't need a parasite invasion or bird poop all over the place. But there's many trees everywhere for them. I'm on a private residential 10 acres lot grandfathered into the middle of a huge forested state park and managed wildlife preserve next to 2 rivers. I'm surrounded by an abundance of wildlife. I think the birds will be fine without me, but I do want them nesting near but not on my home. It's the sheer number of deer I worry about though. Even after the recent hunting season, I'm still seeing a lot of young hungry deer searching for food this last week. Just across the river there's too many wolves so they issued hunting permits for I think a few hundred to be killed. I'm seeing a lot of coyote tracks on this side though. They follow the rabbits. The deer hang around all the fruit trees .. could be over a hundred on the property here, I've not yet counted them all.
