    We were having a problem with a male robin who kept flying into our window with a bang. We called the Audubon Society. They suggested that we blow up some balloons and attach them to our house near the window. That worked for us.

    You also might like to call the Audubon Society. You can look them on www.Switchboard.com

    We had pigeons on our porch until my guy put up this strip with points on the ledge.. they have no place to grip to on the ledge and find somewhere else to perch. No more bird droppings on the porch at all they just avoid it completely. I think you can find it at the home stores

    like Lowes, OSH, Ace or Home Depot.

    I feed the birds in feeders across from the porch they don't bother the porch as

    long as the feeders are a few feet away and scatter seed on the ground. I still enjoy

    watching them eat and they just don't dirty up the patio/porch area at all anymore.

    You can try that balloon suggestion. I've never heard of it but it sounds like it could work. The other thing is there must be food around or they would not be congregating there. So if you're feeding them, stop. If there's a bush they're feeding off you might have to get rid of it.
