I had one build a nest in the planter right outside my bedroom. We formed a symbiotic relationship, the family provided me with endless entertainment and I provided security from marauding squirrels. Anytime a squirrel was near one of the adults would come to the window and make an awful noise until I came out and scared the squirrel away.
