Damn birds!

I've got a couple of phone wires running over the drive and have a couple of dove traps in the road which form part of listed buildings. Currently about 35 doves perch on the lines when they feel like it, dumping all over the drive and cars Censored

There are numerous electronic repelant systems and fake owls etc. availble; has anyone got any experience of these? They are culled around to about 15 twice a year but they multiply straight away.

Actually that's maybe not a bad idea.
You can get statues of birds of prey to put on your roof etc and they do work in scaring off birds Thumbs Up
