Last week, for five days in a row I came out to my car with bird droppings on it. The same type of droppings in the same exact place. Now I don't park under power lines or trees, so for the first few days I was baffled.
Then on the third day, I saw him. I looked out at my car and there's this bird sitting on the passenger side roof looking like he's eating something. I come out to run him off and this thing's got nerve. I was about five feet away before he flew off.
So every day before work I'm out there with PB's S&W, trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Day five it comes to me: I need a scarecrow! I used a stuffed animal that was about the same size as the bird if not larger, and it has those beans in it that make it a little bit weighty so it won't blow off the roof.
The scarecrow worked! I used it for three days, and on the fourth day it was a little rainy so I didn't put it up. The bird hasn't been back yet. I'm hoping that he's plenty spooked and broken of his new perch.
Sorry I don't have any pics of the bird. By the way, it really was a mockingbird. I thought that was funny.
