Effective bird scarers

Scenario: Living in the middle of a small estate and where at least half a dozen other owners have decided to supply food to the local bird population all year around by fixing bird feeders in their gardens. That constant flock of birds to the feeders has now caused the rather annoying problem of bird crap being dropped everywhere in my garden causing quite a mess and nuisance (and possibly a health hazard to my grandchildren). The biggest problem though is with the constant coming and going of fairly large numbers of jackdaws, magpies, starlings and blackbirds with the odd crow showing up. What I can't do: Get rid of the feeders, the neighbours have politely told me that. I don't wish to get banged up for using a shotgun! I have a small calibre air-rifle that can 'tickle' the bigger birds to move them (I don't wish to invest in a high velocity .22 as dead birds lying around in various gardens etc. Now the question: Can anyone therefore suggest a good, effective, non-noise making bird scarer that would go a very long way to scaring the little beggars off? Many thanks Have a look at http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&k...4eckwlgz c_bb |
