Bird Scarers

There's only so much you can net (or only so much net you can afford), and pigeons seem to be a damned nuisance for the rest.

How do you all keep them off? I've been looking at those hawkeye things, with a view to Heath Robinsoning one up myself. Anyone know if they work.

Oddly enough I have more of a problem with the flying rats at home than on the plot, but then the plot does get a lot of feline visitors.

the plot next to ours put plastic birds of prey up, cd.s on string, fleece and long strands of ribbon between poles which apparently hums in the wind and scares birds off. Needless to say the crows ripped the fleece up for nesting, the spuggys simply used the ribbon as a perch, a pigeon kept attacking the fake birds and the cd.s didn't do much I find my kids make the best bird scarers

My old 4 10 used to work a treat. They won't let me use it anymore said it was dangerous.
