Tuesday2018: Would the sliding door be all glass by any chance..or a highly reflective surface.?? There's no way the bird's would be attacking your door out of revenge....probably can't see the glass and just flew into it....or mix up the shiny surface for water....and went for a drink....sad to hear you destroyed their nest though...
they might just be seeing a reflection of themselves too..and think it's an invading bird....so go flying at it...
Little birds here spend ages pecking at themselves in the wing mirrors of my car...and hop across the car windscreen to get to the other mirror and start pecking again....they think it's another bird...it's comical to watch the antics they get up to...
yes, the sliding door all glass no reflective, plus these birds had not a chirping sound the sound was more like they were mad, they were at war with my house.
MikeD12: Interesting - So - What species of Bird were they ? Living near the sea I feed a pair of Seagulls in particular - The Pair nest nearby every year on a House roof. But none of them attack me at my bungalow even when the babies are born - They come within a foot or so when I feed them and I feed them all year round.
the species? I can't say, they are everywhere in Florida.
M4_Mischief: Next time don't destroy their house....you've been warned......
before I started cutting off those branches, I felt sorry for the birds, I had too like I said, hurricane season around the corner, I didn't do it with malice.

You have several species of gull there and IMHO they are all beautiful to watch and especially the larger ones in Flight - I learned some useful practical knowledge Of theory of Flight from watching them from the cliff tops and even at my home which was only just over a mile from the sea when I was at Schoo. I made model aircraft & even copied a Gull for a bit of sport in 1951 - as a Hand & catapult launched glider which got pecked by the Gulls whenever my mate & I flew it. It was painted White with a black Nose.so we patched it up and flew it until Guy Fawkes night that year Then sent it off with a rocket - Night Flying with a small banger attached result = singed balsa wood feathers
