    Hello

    I have a large area of stone wall covered in ivy that I want to remove.

    Looks like there is alot of nesting going on.

    Does anybody have anyidea what month the birds would have moved on so I can take it down.Thanks

    Just a little bit of advice on the ivy dont pull the ivy off the wall while its alive it will take a lot of stone with it.cut the ivy near the bottom and cut a section of about a foot away inject the rest with a weed killer leave it a few month's for the ivy to die and then take it off the wall it will do a lot less damage.
