Squatter's Rights
The real property in contention is my gas grill. I've not used it for at least a week.
In bird years, seven days constitutes abandonment.
I tried to ignore the consequence of evicting the adverse possessors; but seeing the clutch of eggs, it wasn't easy.
A notion to put the eggs under a light bulb teased my imagination. (I used to incubate chicken and duck eggs on a little farm I once owned.) The thought left me when I realized eventual constant trips between the yard and the nest to fetch insects for five little beaks would make me feel ridiculous. Never mind managing the cat.
Birds contested; still there is no bird law. So, shamefully I removed the nest and sanitized the grill.

I can't believe you couldn't wait until they hatched and flew from the nest...

Look at that nest! It was HUGE. Do you realize how long it took that mama to get all that ready for her little eggs?!? You should have broiled the steak!
