Cute but not Pretty

So, on these 113-degree days here in Phoenix, the common birds need to seek a cool shelter to help endure the heat.

Where to they decide to go? Yes, here next to the nook on the back patio where the outside wall meets the foundation.

Likely there's a small (or maybe a large) amount of cool air that leaks through the space between the wall and foundation that gives them some relief.

But they are not kind. They leave me "presents" behind that aren't pretty. I need to get a power sprayer and wash down the patio, because it's not very pretty.
