I've been painting an old cottage for almost two weeks now. There must be a nest somewhere nearby because every time I come down off my ladder, the Mom is right there hopping around watching me. She actually follows me around the cottage which is pretty interesting.
I started talking to her last week. I'm working alone and it's pretty quiet around there. She hasn't started talking back to me yet, but if she does I'll start taking my medication again.
We made the mistake last year of leaving a storage can door open with racking and some robins nested. Momma would feign the broken wing at first and draw attention away, but we would have to go in once in awhile, which was a two person operation avoiding dive bombs. A few bosses suggested we deal with problem at which point we pointed out they leave nest in like 3 weeks, so we would just have to wait it out.
Being the safety officer, I posted a "warning! Angry Birds (the game graphics) poster on the nearest door ;p.
All parties survived.
