Default Birdcage leaves

Do you recommend power wash for removing leaves between birdcage and house roof? Concerned that power might be tooooo strong and then have to replace birdcage....Additional problem, we have tile roof, so we try to avoid anyone walking on tile....What do you do?

Default Try

a leaf blower from inside the bird cage. It should get the leaves moving then heard them off to the open side.

I am so sorry. Everytime I read this topic I think that the birdcage blew away or something.

I know Gail. I have toooooo much time on my hands and I miss TV.

Initially, I thought birdcage was some type of tropical tree.

How about standing on a ladder with a shop vac?

You might have to have your builder add a flashing strip that would direct leaves into the gutter and eliminate that small gap. He would have to walk on your tile roof but maybe only one time to do the modification.
