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?

Call the power company. It's before their demarcation point. They should take care of it. Yes, it's probably ok to go up and "gently remove" it, but what if it's not. Don't fuck with that.

This is the correct answer. It's the power company's problem. Weird accidents can happen.

My electric utilities demarc moves depending on where the problem is.
