Owl decoys work very well for pest birds, and pigeons!

Non-pest birds, also. LOL

A friend who loves her birds put a very realistic owl in her garden to
keep away pest birds. It was weeks before she realized why her song birds
weren't coming to the feeders. Shortly after she removed the owl, her
song birds returned to the feeders.

Placement is important... :-)
I breed pigeons for meat, so I don't want to scare off my breeding
stock! G

Owl decoys just go into the garden area, not anywhere near the gourd
bird houses. I've been getting good occupation of those by house wrens,
and those are death on garden bugs!
