Hello,

Anyone have ideas on how to keep birds off a deck?
I had the deck recently stained and repaired and almost
every day there are 2-3 bird poop on the top railings.
Mourning doves seem to be the worst about doing this...
And the other day, I noticed one of the top top posts was gnawed a bit.
Which the squirrel has done in the past.
Anyone else have these problems, and what do you do?
I wash off the bird poop since that can't be good for the wood, and is unsightly.



Scary owl ; rubber snake ; ...
move them around regularly .. ?

Don't waste your money... those are very nice looking/decorative
decoys but they won't fool any bird... I have several owl decoys on my
vegetable garden fence, even a couple with solar powered glowing eyes,
they do nothing other than to pretty up the place. I have several
whirl-a-gigs too, and other fluttering/shiny thingies. None of those
inanimate objects fool living critters. The only things I know deters
birds is netting and pussy, and pussy works 100% of the time, netting
works 50% of the time if you're lucky. Feral cats are the best
hunting machines, hunting is in their DNA... a gnat can't land on my
deck lest it's a goner... feral cats swat flies out of boredom.
