We have a very real looking owl that moves it's head in the breeze. That pretty much does the job for us.

However, if you followed the directions for this product, it would probably be ok. Not enough to get them stuck. Just enough to annoy them.

Well, I guess I need to upgrade and get an owl with a moving head. Mine doesn't move and the birds land on it ]:

Birds figure out very quickly what is harmless. They will sheet all over your snakes, evil eyes, and owls.

They (pigeons ) were landing on the tables of outdoor diners at a restaurant DH and I were at a few nights ago. Everyone was shooing them away but they weren't giving up. ): eta...one couple who were being especially tormented by the pests, gave up and asked for to -go boxes and left ):

Re: birds on porch problem solved - with this!

We have a couple of birds, mom and dad, who have been building a nest in the tree next to the balcony.......so cute, them walking and chirping all day long. I love them. They are so cute......makes my day seeing them look down at me chirping away. I put a paper bag on the balcony, and they have been pecking it away to build a nest. Also a small very shallow bowl of water, as we haven't had rain and I don't want them to have to fly far away to a lake to get water.

I can't imagine this world without birds. Their chirping is always music to my ears......

I have bird feeders right outside my windows, the birds watch me fill them. Bird baths too, a heated one in the winter. If a bird wanted to make a nest above a window, under the eves, I'd find that a blessing. If there was a mess, small or large, I wouldn't mind cleaning it up.

But, why do you even need to annoy them? {#emotions_dlg.sad}

Gee whiz, they're just birds. Live and let live.
