the silence falls.
There's a family of kestrals that hunt in the park across the road from me. They don't register anywhere the same 'concern' from the other birdlife. None really. But the falcons, man oh man...
Laurie, you could try hosing the birds too along with some yelling and carry-on. A few repeated doses may be needed.
Tried one of those owl dummies? I've seen them employed on moored boats and now even Maccas in Sydney is using them to keep the local flying rats out of their place,
