Stephen Fishenden and wife Linda, 65, of Chingford, east London, say they have lived through “hell” since the birds began to seek shelter beneath the energy-saving panels, which were fitted by a contractor working for council homes manager Ascham Homes.
Mr Fishenden first complained to Ascham Homes in March last year about the “horrendous” noise keeping them awake at night and his wife’s deteriorating health. The 65 year-old said: "I specifically asked at the time if we would have any problems with birds and was reassured they would not be a problem. It has been hell and has made my wife ill. She’s asthmatic and is having to use her pump more regularly.
"We are both constantly awake and have had hundreds of sleepless nights. It is particularly horrendous in the morning." Following further complaints, the couple said a contractor visited the property in late November and told them he would provide a quote for the scaffold tower, but never returned. A spokeswoman for Ascham Homes has apologised for the delay and blamed the weather.

£2 worth of chicken wire should sort it out - about 5 minutes work.
@Patty. First thought that came to my mind, too. We had to put it around the stove exhaust because starlings--incredibly resourceful little twits--were using the duct as a nesting site.

When I had hurricane shutters put on my house, pidgeons decided to nest on the track above the front door. I put a $1 kid's Slinky spring toy across it and they never came back.
