Don’t you envy the freedom of birds, that they can fly without mechanical assistance? And no ticket needed!

How do I get birds to stop nesting on my roof/gutters as they **** on our cars?

Jeff G asked:
We have a couple of bird nests in our gutters and the birds are very happy to drop on our cars all day long. It’s getting frustrating and they “have to go”. Any ideas?

I have had nest boxes used in the past but since I installed a bird feeder I’ve had birds feeding but not nesting. How can I have both?

How do I attrack flocks of birds to my lawn? And I means hundreds of birds. Will spreading bird seed all over my lawn do anything?

Once upon time, there was a bird that landed on a tree. The bird had noticed a group of birds on the same tree.
Once upon time, there was a bird that landed on a tree. The bird had noticed a group of birds on the same tree.
He said “hello hundred birds”.
One of the birds replied “we are not hundred, but if you sum the total number of us plus the same number of us plus the half of us plus a quarter of us plus yourself, only then the total number will be hundred birds”.
Then, the poor bird decided to run away.
What was the number of birds on that tree?

We have a graduation party tomorrow, and there’s a bird’s nest in the lawn with a bunch of tiny baby birds. The nest’s up high and kind of out of the way, so I don’t think there will be a problem, but any general advice is appreciated.

help please asked:
I know that birds carry things that could hurt my dog. I feel sorry for my dog that has to eat/drink after these birds. The bird droppings are everywhere including in my dogs food and water. I have tried the fake Owls and streamers and nothing works.

How to keep birds from building nests on my deck?

king s asked:
Last year a bird built a nest on my deck. When I realized it was there, eggs were inside. I let them hatch and the birds flew away. I took the nest down but they continue to try to builds nests in the same spot. How do I prevent that?

How do I control, not necessarily prevent, birds from coming to my garden pond?

Jay P. asked:
Hi ther! So I’ve posted before re: garden ponds. At first it was murky water, then dead birds, and now… too many birds! I love nature, but the old addage “too much of a good thing” definitely applies to my pond. I don’t mind birds seeking water, a quick bath, etc. (after all, that’s the point, I know), but I seem to be getting TOO many visitors. Today I cam ehome to an abundance of bird excrement in, on and around the pond. Had to drain it again (gross), clean the stones and water in the stuff on the plants surrounding. Is there any thing to help “control” the feather friends, or should I just fill in the hole and give up? For health reasons, smell and ultimately just plain appearance, I can’t have another day like today. Thanks for your suggestions!

How do I keep birds from eating flowers in my container garden?

Violet777 asked:
I have also seen squirrels and chipmunks, so I bought Shake Away–it seemed to work for the most part if I keep putting it out there. I also bought a pinwheel and some hologram ribbon that is supposed to keep birds away, but these have not worked–the birds keep going into the containers. I’ve replaced some of my flowers already, and when I see that they’ve been dug up (sometimes they’ve been removed completely and put on the ground) I just replant and hope that the roots take hold again. I have always lived on the second floor with a porch garden, and never had problems like this, even though there were a lot of birds. Now I’m on the first floor and I can’t get them to stay away. There were a lot of neighbors that had bird feeders, and management requested they be removed because the squirrel problem was getting worse. Are they so hungry now they are going for the flowers? I cannot put moth balls out, since they cause me to have an asthma attack. Any suggestions would help!
