Very Poor nest location choice: House Sparrow (1 Viewer)

I'm afraid that it's got to go.

This male house sparrow appears to want to make a nest behind the rear wheel of my Subaru outback. I will need to keep checking and removing it. Because I work out of my home office I often don't drive my car at all for several days at a time.

In this series, I saw the sparrow under my car with this strand of material hanging from my car. I took the photo and then removed the nest making material from my car and dropped it on the ground. I came back 5 minutes later to find the sparrow with the strand and then he put it back into place.

Later, not pictured, the strand is all the way up with only a small loop hanging within view.

Hope these photos don't violate the forum rules but I took them in my driveway looking at my car.

The House Sparrows really are an infestation here in my yard.

That's sort of where the car has to park but right now I am out as my kid sees the dentist. Sitting in waiting room. Hope they give up.
