Bird Poop on my driveway - I'm going to cry
I don't know if anyone can help out here. I've looked through google and
have seen suggestions from hanging cd's to bb guns, etc. But my driveway has some many bird droppings on it, I just can't compete. It gets loaded on a daily basis. It's almost as if my driveway is attracting birds or is at a fly by intersection for birds. I don't get it. |

No overhangs for birds to sit on. Just two tall house and a couple of trees
to fly back and forth. Is it because birds are eating alot for feeding their young right now?(Northern Ohio). I just don't remember it ever being this bad. "hob" wrote in message . ..

I think you should ask other people about something they can't see (i.e.: your property, your birds), rather than put your fat, lazy dumb ass in a chair and OBSERVE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, you ignorant twit. |

Bird Poop on my driveway - I'm going to cry
Mac-
I don't know what kind of birds you have, but I might have a suggestion. At Home Depot or other garden centers, you will often find fake owls available for sale. They are provided to help run off most birds. My daughter had trouble with birds attacking her apricot tree just before harvest. And, she was losing an awful lot of fruit to them. She put out one of those owls, and voila' many of the birds went elsewhere. I've seen little sidewalk cafes that have these same owls in the overhangs and on roofs, and it keeps their diners from being bombed. There are also little devices you can purchase that make the sounds of preditary birds, and runs off most other birds. But, they can be pricey, and the sound can be annoying. Hope this helps!

Let me guess: It is an asphalt driveway, and the birds are dropping fecal sacks produced by nestlings. This used to happen a lot to my driveway before it was repaved to concrete. I theorized that the birds mistook the large, dark expanse for a body of water that they could hide the evidence of their nestlings in. At that time our road was unpaved. The nearest actual body of water is a few blocks away. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Bird Poop on my driveway - I'm going to cry
Since there is no perch, it is likely that the birds are "playing" - they
have learned to "bomb" your driveway just for the fun of it. Or it may be that there is a thermal there (e.g., black driveway next to green grass - heat rises off the driveway in a column of rapidly rising air), and they get an "elevator ride" as they fly into the thermal - lifting them up without work, or if it is strong enough, giving them lift that gives them a "jump" like a roller coaster ride when they fly into it - or maybe they are just doing what they saw some bird do. Do. Birdy see, birdy do-do. (sorry, had to :-) ) (Kind of like squirrels that sit by the road and sit there and wait for the car to get close before they run across the street, or like birds that swoop at your moving car so they can get a jump when they hit the air coming over the car. Game playing.) Not likely they are hunting food or just using a thermal, because they leave droppings at the base of the dive. More likely they are in it for the rush. It will be hard to break them of the "game" - you're going to need to break the thermal if there is one, or get in their flight path. With that as background, is there any obvious way to break up their game? ( I know ways to do it, but if I have guessed right, this is a site-specific problem.) fwiw "Mac3" wrote in message ...

Tuesday, with maybe 50 more messages. :-) "Koi-Lo" wrote in message ...
