What's up peeps. I have a bird problem. I rent an outdoor parking space in my complex and unfortunately the space is directly under a tree. Although I had this bird problem for years, it didn't bother me as much as it's bothering me now. Mostly because I just got a new paint job and EVERY morning I come out, there's bird crap all over my car. They come to the tree at night and if I leave my car there for even twenty minutes, the get me. I tried throwing things at them in the tree in hopes that they will get tired of being temporarily moved, but they still come back a little later. The building had contractors cut the tree branches above my car but the birds went up higher. THE BASTARDS. How can I get them outta there permanently? I thought of spraying some kinda insecticide up there. I know it will probably kill the leaves in that area but SO WHAT!!! lol I've had it up to here with these birds.

I know, I know... the best option is a car cover. I had one before, but I get lazy and my wife never did it. lol
I'll get another one, but I welcome any other suggestions.

 

BB GUN!!!!

 

HELL YEA!!!!!!

 

I had the same problem. Kill aacouple of them with a BB gun and leave them there. The birds wont come near.

 

Damn, somebody beat me to it.

 

I had the same problem b4. Must be the birds in brooklyn. Anyways, when i used to park it under the infamous tree i also thought of incesticide. Cheap and probably a little too effective.

 

Might wanna invest in a car cover.

 

aiight, aiight. I got a few more suggestions. A few of them are kinda crazy, but might work. They are:

1- Get battery operated "christmas lights" and throw them in the tree.
2- Run a wire to a small speaker and throw it in the tree. Play music.
3- Get "glow-in-the-dark" stars and string them in the tree.
4- Put a battery operated strobe light up there.

along with these, I looked on the internet and came up with these findings:
- ultrasonic repellent; sticky gel; liquid spray(all of them harmless and non-fatal)
What has been working a little(meaning they don't get me as much) these past couple of days is me throwing a twig up in the direction of the birds at night. I do this about six or seven times. They fly away. Some come back, but not all. I also shined a "cigarette lighter powered" spotlight on them. This thing is BRIGHT. Sorta like what the cops use. Someone told me if I do these things nightly, the birds will get the picture and avoid that area of the tree. We'll see.

 

just shoot one of em and hang the carcass in the tree. they won't come back when they see their own kind hanging dead.

 

How high is the tree? You might want to to fastening a fake owl to the area they sit in?
I had the same problem- I just flushed the bird from one side of the tree to the other each night for a week - it got the hint.

 

fstbusa: I wish I could shoot one. But they only come at night to sleep. I cant see them at night.

CoolMax: The tree is pretty high. Last year I had contractors cut some limbs over my car, so the birds moved up higher. Therefore, I can't put an owl in the tree.

 

i have a tree infront of my house too and its annoying... and birds would always poop on my car

i think there is some solvent or a spray where u can purchase at home depot to spary on the branches so the birds wont sit on it .
i have a paint ball gun.. i just use that.. when i get bored..lol

 

if u scare the bird they jus **** themselve n it ill go on ur car neway..id agree with gettin something from home depot that keep em off the branches

 

Even if you did get a car cover, it'd eventually be covered entirely with bird ****. There's no way to change spots?

 

Just get a fake owl and put it in the tree. The birds won't go in that tree again.

 

Click here for the answer to your problems. It will run you about $50, but only certain sporting good stores will stock it.

But if that's too "mean" for you, shoot them with one of those $20 daisy Powerline BB guns available at Wal-Mart. They won't kill the birds like the 2240, but they'll get the idea.

Just throw a big doll up there. The birds will either leave, or die of confusion.

 

Yeah great idea. Shoot the birds

I know some of you were joking, but for the other's that weren't

 

Drive a coper spike in the tree. No tree=no birds...

 

you trying to get more moving in? sounds like a great place to live.


I couldn't shoot any living creature, but let me find birds living/crapping above my car, the .22 will come out for moving target practice.
