Think they were laughing at me  |
A few years ago I visited a friend in California. When we went up to his flat roof I noticed several fake owls laying on their sides. When I asked him about it he said that he had a bad problem with birds and their dropping and someone suggested the fake owls. When he set them up the birds ignored them and kept using his roof as a hangout. Then someone else saw the problem and told him to lay them down. Apparently the birds think they are dead and signal danger. After laying them down the birds did not return.
I have no idea if this would work for us but it sure worked on those left coast birds.
