I have a problem with birds flying on my patio and eating my dog’s food. Every other evening I have to clean my patio from bird poop and the mess they make! I went and bought a fake owl and it worked for two days and now they just walk right by it. I could feed the dogs away from the patio but Id still have a bird problem. I can’t kill them because it’s against the law and because my wife won’t let me. A wise friend told me to ‘spray’ them with water. LOL. I don’t think they need a bath. Has anyone here ever had this problem? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You could always play the "dying bird" soundtrack on a portable stereo. That'll keep the bastards away.
get a pet hawk. that will definately tkae care of your problem. just pray that the hawk doesnt decide the dog needs to go as well...
Don't animals secrete all their poop when they die? That's a lose lose if you like birds but hate poop.
this is true. their waste gets all mixed up. they dont have kidneys or something like that... carry on.
"What? No'mbre, qué Kentucky Fried Chicken ni que nada... we get the chicken from the yard...! Just hit'em with a palo!" Spoiler DINNER every night, meester MoBalls. Seriously, though, I hear that the car dealerships use those pennant strings (the ones you see outside Fiesta Mart, you know that store) to scare them away, but I don't know if you want your house to look like a circus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_scarer - ways to drive birds away http://www.dutchguard.com/scare-away-birds-p-yard.html - combination siren + bird "detector" makes noise when they approach. <- this one seems to work wonders.
go adopt a outside cat. A cat would not stand for that crap. Or just get a dog with some swingers.....I had a wiener dog that caught birds just eating bugs int he yard. It would stalk them and launch like a cat.
DOG, BIRDS, BUGS, CAT. I hear people just TALK about posts like this one... combining 4 animals in one post. FOUR? Who ever heard of that? Congratulations, sir. It's a liger. That's like... my favorite animal. Anyway, birds sticking around here is a good sign for NO HURRICANE. I 'memmer how the birds said "man, eff this, I'm gettin' outta here" when Rita was coming. THAT's what the calm before the storm actually is: no animals! Creepy stuff. CUCUY!
