After being told by my wife that we couldn’t go on our annual spring trip because a sparrow had built a nest inside our fifth-wheel hitch and was sitting on three eggs, I decided I would screen off the openings as soon as the birds flew the coop.
I bought a small piece of 1⁄4-inch screen, some self-tapping screws, washers and a piece of aluminum bar. Using a pair of wire cutters, I trimmed the screen to fit and covered the openings front and back. I used the aluminum bar on the bottom of the screen to hold it in place. Total cost was $6.50. Now we can go camping whenever we want — not only when the birds say so.
