Default birds like my A/C; nesting; is 3flrs up, dangerous for ladder atall often

Our bedroom A/C -- damn birds like it.

Turning it on does nothing to them -- they remain.

ASIDE:
When I lived in an appartment, with balcony, a pigeon pair
took to it. �Then they built a nest, complete with eggs.

I knew full well that once those chicks grew up and wanted
to have their own nests, that they'd come right back *there*.
There'd be NO getting rid of them, then.

SO, I got my trusty tennis racket, went out there, and killed
the two doves, and tossed the eggs.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

(Yes, friend inside watching me was a bit, uh, shocked! :-) �)

END ASIDE:

Now that I'm living in a house, with a/c facing the back-yard
(huge slope down away from house) and on the 3rd floor, it is
pretty dangerous, at least for me (don't like heights, edges
of cliffs, etc), to put up a ladder (a LONG ladder) and climb
up and do what's needed.

MY QUESTION:

How to get rid of THESE birds, and for the future, how to keep
them from coming back?

Well, how about spreading some lye on everything? �Or spraying
poison all over the inside, enough to drift out the back
and settle there too. �THAT would work just fine! �RIGHT?

Only problem is that there'd be no one left inside to appreciate
the lack of birds. � :-(

Ideas?

you are a idiot killing defensless birds.

I hope a tv station finds out about you and runs a story on what you
did!

Would you be proud?/
