To give you some perspective, here's the front of our house showing the location of the decoration to the left of the front door.

Anyone have ideas on what I could do with the nest? I thought about bringing it inside the house to use as a decoration but wasn't sure about the "kootie factor" with a live nest.
Let me know your thoughts.
Edited post to add: I'm thinking of putting the nest under a cloche with some other nature items like my friend posted about over at The Nesting Place.
