I've had an issue with birds trying to nest in my wreath each season. They even managed to get inside my house once, but we successfully removed the little guy. I'm looking for suggestions to keep them from setting up shop in my wreath again!

You could try filling the wreath with some filler paper or netting to create a barrier that makes it harder for the birds to nest. It could help deter them while keeping the wreath looking good!
My grandma had a cool trick! She used to put things like teddy bears in spots where birds liked to nest. For your wreath, think about adding more decorations to fill out the space and make it less inviting for nesting. It might just do the trick!
If you're in the US, keep in mind that some birds and their nests might be protected by law, so it's good to be aware of that. In the eastern US, you might be dealing with Carolina Wrens, which are fun to watch and help control bugs. One approach is to let the chicks fledge by using another entrance for a bit, and once they're gone, you can relocate the wreath to a nearby wall so they don't come back in your house.
