eggs in the ferns

This is what I found the other day when Chris and I were outside. As sweet as it is, I really just hate having birds nests in the ferns. They weigh the plant down which ends up breaking the basket and hooks that they hang from. As soon as the birds arrive, I'm moving the nest and then putting moth balls in the plant. I was able to get the moth balls in the other fern before a bird decided to make it home. Does anyone else have another idea to keep birds away besides moth balls. And by the way, the warning on the box says not to use it in plants to keep birds away. Whoops...1 rule broken.
Also, we have a bird feeder right outside our back door. We refill the entire feeder each day. Yes, each day! I promise these birds are the fattest, stingiest birds I have ever seen. They fight each other and knock each other off the feeder. Chris finds it simply amazing that I purchased a $9 bag of bird seed. Don't these birds know we are in a recession?
