Just noticed this when getting a new AC installed yesterday. Not sure if it's a bird or squirrel nest, or even active. It's super high up that I don't have a ladder to reach, also I am not super cool with being that close to electrical wiring but I feel like it's a hazard that needs to be removed. Anyone else experience this and what you suggest my approach should be or what service might need to be hired?

Some jurisdictions don't allow people to mess with bird nests if there's birds using it, so check that first.

I'm surprised they allow power cables so close to a downspout. That wouldn't be allowed where I live.

If it's a birds nest, the United States and Canada are some of those jurisdictions where you can't mess with bird nests. Unless it's a non-native species
