Block all openings. I stick a sponge inside a zip lock bag and stuff it in my boom ends. Blue tape? Saran wrap might lift the paint? You might tie something to the halyard like cut a slit into a piece of milk bottle so it sets on the halyard and covers the opening?

Then the nest falls and eggs break and the boat stinks for a few weeks. When I pulled the mast to work on the mast step, I discovered quite a pile of fermented bird crap, straw, eggs etc. I haven't been able to figure out a way to block them while it's sitting at the dock. A CD fixed to the halyard doesn't seem to faze them. Any ideas out there? It's that time of year when they start building.
