Sounds like they have a pretty good life at your place already! My best plan was to wait until they get up for a feed then put a large dog crate around them. Put the nest inside and hope they walk back in the crate to get to the nest then lock them in there at night for safety... But I gave a strong fear they would just abandon the nest instead...
I am in Australia and the only think we have here are foxes. Guess we are lucky compared to some places in the US... But still need to protect the birds. Some people say they just put 3 pickets and a ring of chicken wire around them... They leave it open so mum can fly in and out and fox can't get in... But I have serious doubts about this. My current girl only flies in emergencies and to roost at night so I reckon she'd just pace around and not fly out. Would be So frustrating to watch! Plus I think a fox could still jump in... :/ what do you think?
