Bird control
Hi,
I hope this isn't too far off topic in this news group. I did a Google search which said that the topic of bird control came up often in this news group. Please direct me to a better news group if necessary. I am bothered by misbehaving pigeons that defecate all over my apartment balcony as soon as I turn my back. As soon as I put a new object out on the balcony the little rascals go out of their way to defecate upon my belongings. I think they do it out of a sense of revenge because I shout at them. I've seen a solution to this problem. I've seen some people mount a black silhouette of a blackhawk (or some sort of predatory bird) in a window to scare away pigeons. Can some one please point me towards a graphic that I can print out, cut and paste upon my window? It only needs to be scary to pigeons. Thanks in advance. dgn |

There are plastic birds available at farming supply centers just for this
purpose. -- (¯`·._.· £ãrrÿ ·._.·´¯) "David Naugler" wrote in message om... Hi, I hope this isn't too far off topic in this news group.

We use a 'Bird Scare' which is a yellow beach ball with mylar "eyes". The
movement and the eyes twinkling scares bejeebers out of the birds. I modified that for home use (and deer) and hung CD's all over the place. I've reduced my foliage loss by 95% and I can assure you those CDs twinkling in the woods late at night scare the bejeebers out of me, until I remember that's where I put a CD. Looks like the eye of a mountain lion and we did have one not too far from here a number of years ago. Margy David Naugler wrote: Hi, I hope this isn't too far off topic in this news group.

Don't know what your apartment balcony looks like, but it may be possible to
string some fishing line across the openings. Once the pigeons (rats with wings) fly into the lines a few times they'll avoid your balcony. Michael "David Naugler" wrote in message om... I am bothered by misbehaving pigeons |

Hi,
Saw this at Disney World one year long ago in an eatting area. =========================== Circular holographic images flash dramatically in the sunlight as the 3/4" tape vibrates in the wind. Holographic image creates moving reflection which frightens and deters birds. Ideal for fruit trees, berry patches and grapevines. Highly effective in a wide variety of crop and garden applications. Also can be used to keep ducks, geese and gulls off waterfront lawns and docks. For best results, install tape just before crops ripen and feeding habits develop. Elevate tape 3 ft over crops so birds can see it from all directions. Run tape lengthwise and crosswise to form an elevated protective grid. Remove tape when harvest is over to prevent birds from getting used to it. google it |

We have a bird repelling beach ball thing (has big eye spots plus shiny streamers). It worked exceedingly well. We found less bird crap on the tail (they used to love to sit on our VOR antenna) when we hang the ball on the rotating beacon after flight. |
