Birds How do we get birds to build their nest somewhere else?

Question by Mikay1823: How do we get birds to build their nest somewhere else?
We have a window arch over our front door. Two birds are building a nest in the window arch. There are no eggs so far- just twigs, grass, & moss. My husband is afraid the nest will fall on our heads as we go out the door. He has knocked it down twice and put a fake rubber snake up there. The birds keep coming back. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the birds to build their nest somewhere else? We don’t want to hurt them. We just want them to build somewhere else.

Just keep tearing it down, they will eventually build one elsewhere.
