Hello!

Hi All,
We have a real issue with Minor Birds – I can live with having to sweep all the bark back on the garden, but they come into my patio and perch on my outdoor chairs and poop all over them – It is awful. I have tried putting up wind socks but they don’t seem to be working. HELP…. Anyone got any ideas?

  • I hope the hawk worked. I would have suggested covering your patio furniture with a tarp when it’s not in use.


  • I like the idea of fake snakes or fake birds.


  • omg – thanks will be going to bunnings for the hawk!!!!


  • Fake snakes didn’t work for us. We got a fake hawk from Bunning. you hang it up and it moves in the wind. it’s been fantastic


  • you guys rock – thanks for sharing!


  • Safeway have statues of birds,give it a go!


  • Yes would like the answer to this too. thanks for asking!


  • There are also these that are supposed to work. I know our garden centre sells them.


  • It’s not the best look but old CD’s and DVD’s hanging nearby work. I often see them on gardens and it keeps the birds away.


  • The idea of fake snakes is very good. It functions in swimming pools too.


  • Place statues of fake birds there. Or even fake plastic snakes. We put them on our patio on our house boat and it stops birds landing there.


  • thanks!


  • Maybe smithing shiney and/or noisey might stop them? We have little ones that love looking at their own reflections. So they hang out on my window sills and around the car mirrors :/ lots of poop
