Obviously, you have never been dive bombed by a mother bird, just because you
unwittingly (unknowingly) got too close to her chicks.

I wouldn't be able to go near the orchids until the chicks left.

I have all of my dendrobiums hanging on a rack located so that they get
full
morning sun until just after lunch. Then they are in bright light, but
not in
sunlight. The rack is made of plastic water piping which fense wire tied
to
it. No glue is used on the pipes so that it can be disassembled in times
of
cold weather or hurricane winds. Then, it's taken down, and the plants
are
moved inside.

All's well until a mocking bird decided to 'move in'. Last year about late
spring, a bird started to build a nest in one of the dendrobium pots that
was
located in the inner corner of the rack. Of course, I 'discouraged' the
effort, and the bird went elsewhere.

Wouldn't you know it, this year I have the same problem. Again, it will
be
evicted. Although, it suppose the birds would be of some value to the
plants.
Think of all the $$$ saved on fertilizer.
