    Doves
    I have a shelf on the side of my house that doves make a nest and have babies on all the time. It has gotten out of control. I have cleaned up all the "poop" and got rid of all the nests. I know they will build my nests if I don't do something. I don't want to do anything to harm or kill the doves.
    Is there something I can put on the shelf that will keep them away. Someone recommended a rubber snake... I'd like to ask an expert.
    Thanks

    More popular than a rubber snake: An eagle. Around here we see plastic Eagles sitting all over the place acting as scarecrows. Doves and pigeons will not go near it.

    OR a plastic owl also does the trick! We have a problem with pigeons around here and they always use a plastic owl. I would think an eagle would work too.

How do you get rid of doves (pigeons) (birds) [ 1 Answers ]

We live in an apartment house. Recently, our little balcony and others on our (east) side of the building have been infiltrated by doves who leave mementos behind. How do we scare them away? Owl cutouts? Ribbons? Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thank you. Peter
