Netting. Cover the glass on the outside with netting at least 3 inches from the glass, taut enough to bounce birds off before they hit. Small-mesh netting (around 5/8″ or 1.6 cm) is best, so that birds don't get their heads or bodies entangled but will bounce off unharmed.
Birds may attack windows to claim territory. Attacking the blass on purpose is a territorial issue. We often get calls from people with a different problem. Instead of birds hitting their windows inadvertently, they are flying against the glass on purpose – attacking their own reflection.
Birds that attack windows become seemingly obsessed with their reflection. Breaking this cycle by removing the stimulus is, therefore, essential. Simple solutions can involve putting a non-reflective material, such as cling film or non-reflective cellophane, on the outside of a window.
Decoys like scarecrows, balloons, fake owls and even rubber snakes can be places to keep birds away. This method might work for a while, but generally birds catch on. After a while, they will be get used to whatever decoy you are using.
You can use many different DIY spray mixtures to keep birds away. You can use Peppermint Spray, Citrus Spray, Chili Pepper Spray, Lemon Oil Spray, Vinegar Spray, Garlic Oil Spray and Cinnamon Spray to deter birds from certain areas of your home.
Ignore Bad Behavior: The most important thing to do if your bird is screaming, biting, or otherwise acting out is to remain calm. If you get frazzled, or yell, your bird will actually love the attention, and try to continue his behavior. Instead, you should try to ignore a misbehaving bird completely.
Most birds will exhibit aggressive behavior when they feel threatened. Birds that are guarding a nest are more likely to respond aggressively towards an encroaching person or animal.
Solutions don't have to be complicated or expensive… Even the simple act of letting your windows be dirty and dusty can help birds “see” the glass. Humans don's see glass either, but we use visual cues to tell us there is a solid pane there (although sometimes we miss those cues and walk into glass doors).
Try to restrain the bird immediately. Place it inside a small container (e.g., unwaxed paper bag or cardboard box) and move the container to a dark, quiet, warm space. B. Contact your local wildlife rescue (see list below) as soon as possible and arrange for the bird to be transported to their facility.
Aluminum Foil
Birds don't like the feel of the foil under their beaks and will stay away. You can also hang strips of aluminum foil (or shiny party streamers) from the trees or other high points around your home and garden. The sun reflects off the shiny surface and bothers their eyes, deterring them from coming near.
4 The Birds Gel Repellent is a transparent sticky gel used to deter pigeons and starlings from landing on surfaces. This polybutene gel is EPA registered (Registration No. 8254-5-56) for use as a repellent for pigeons and starlings.
Wind chimes. The sound is beautiful to listen to in the summer breeze for you and your guests. However, birds wouldn't agree. The noise and movement of wind chimes will scare birds off your deck, patio, or porch.
The “golden rule” for spacing is four inches apart horizontally and two inches apart vertically. If tiny birds like hummingbirds and kinglets are colliding with the glass, pattern spacing should be reduced to two inches by two inches. Decals or paint should be high contrast in order to be visible to birds.
Some people believe that a bird hitting a window is a sign of good luck. Although it might not seem like such good luck for the bird, birds themselves are often seen as symbols of good luck, so this is a possible interpretation of a bird hitting your window – especially if the bird in question is something like a dove.
scare tape. A visual & audible deterrent for protecting your property. The spears of light being reflected from the surface and the noise of the moving tape repels the birds. Used to frighten away common birds such as pigeons, seagulls, blackbirds and other birds often found in your garden or on your property.
Absence of feed or water or a shortage of feeder and waterer space. If the birds have to fight for food and water, or if the birds are always hungry they will increase pecking. Be sure that birds have free access to water and feed at all times. The pecking order determines which birds get to eat and when.
An angry bird may stretch up tall or crouch into an attack position, or it may sharply flick its tail or spread its wings to make itself appear larger and more threatening. Sound: Many birds have alarm calls and other sounds such as bill clacks or hisses that can indicate agitation and anger.
The bird must be trained to know that he is not the dominant member of the family flock, and all family members must establish dominance over the bird. The easiest way to do this is to control the bird's movement. When you are removing him from his perch or cage, give the 'up' command.
Positive reinforcement is the best way to discipline a bird and you can do it by rewarding your bird's positive actions with his favorite snack or treats. You may also shower him with praise and attention when he's behaving well so he'll realize how he should act.
