One key thing to keep in mind in order to do so successfully is that, to birds, “up is out.” In other words, a bird will generally look for a way out in an upward direction, which means that it may take a while to fly out of a low window than a high one. However, opening a window and leaving the room is often the best course of action. As this gives the bird time and space to find the exit without becoming frightened by humans.

How to Keep Birds Away

1. Use bird spikes. It sounds intense, but in actuality it’s a harmless bird deterrent. The plastic spikes simply make an area undesirable. By placing spikes on your ledges, beams, street lights, signs or any other place you deem fit, you can expect to drastically reduce the amount of birds that you see on your property.
2. Annoy them with sound. Birds are sensitive to sound, and use their sense of it to avoid predators. While almost any noise will do, try thwarting birds with recordings of predators. Anything from foxes, to weasels, to raccoons should work just fine.
3. Make them see things. Or at least make them think they see things. A bird that sees something stirring in its favorite spot is a bird that will most likely avoid going close to said spot. Try implementing moving, flashy items like spinning wheels or strips of foil.
4. Use bird netting. Now that’s not to say you are attempting to trap the bird, but rather, you are preventing them from getting to areas where you don’t want them to go. Such areas could be a porch, garden, front door, busy walkway, etc. Animal Remover can attach bird netting around the perimeter of your problem area so you can enjoy a bird-free environment.
5. Scare them away. Birds are fidgety creatures to begin with, especially towards humans, so your mere presence is often enough to push birds away. However, most of us don’t have the time to constantly be focused on where those pesky birds are. Instead of keeping a 24/7 watch, try implementing certain scare tactics. A scarecrow or a fake snake are good options.
