Last year, I installed gutter guards, and they have done a great job of keeping debris out, but with the ends not completely sealed, it gave some enterprising small birds an opening to build their nests. That's a genius move on their part since the gutter guards are a great defense against other birds or animals. But they made a poor choice on which end of the gutter to build on, since the nest was being built directly on top of the downspout. So I reluctantly had to undo all their hard work to keep the gutters flowing. On the happy side, they had not yet laid eggs in the nests, giving them time to rebuild before the chicks are hatched.
