The flowers on the balcony were pecked by birds until only the stems were left; tie a colorful ribbon to scare the birds away.

Brilliant trick - tie colorful streamers

Tying a few bird-deterrent ribbons on the balcony can effectively prevent birds. Why? Because the ribbons can reflect light, which irritates the birds; when the wind blows, the sound made by the ribbons also frightens the birds!

Precautions

1. The ribbons must be wind-resistant and have a good reflective effect. If there are no streamers, CDs can be used instead.

2. The ribbons should be hung about 20 cm higher than the potted plants. You cannot just hang them directly on the flower pot and be done with it, as the effect will be very poor.

Brilliant trick - scarecrow

Placing a scarecrow on the balcony can scare the birds away. This is a method everyone has known since childhood!

How to make it

1. Find two wooden sticks and nail them into a cross shape to serve as the scarecrow's torso and arms.

2. Put clothes on the nailed cross, stuff straw, waste paper, cotton wadding, and other materials inside to prop up the clothes, and tie them tightly; finally, put on a hat and tie on two gloves, and it is done!

Of course, if you find it troublesome, just put a shirt on the cross and add a hat!

Note: A scarecrow is only effective at driving birds away for a short time, unless the scarecrow's appearance or color is frequently changed!

Brilliant trick - put up a net

If it is convenient to set up a frame at home and the space is large enough, you can put up a net and cover all the flowers, plants, vegetables, and fruits from top to bottom. This can prevent both birds and other small animals!

If you feel there is no space, want to open the window for ventilation, and are also afraid that the balcony flowers will be pecked by birds, it is recommended to put a layer of wire mesh on the balcony!

Brilliant trick - kill the chicken to warn the monkey

This method is rather cruel and crude: place a dead bird next to the flower pot to serve as a warning. When the other birds see it, they will be frightened!

Precautions: Catching and killing birds at will is illegal. Be sure to obtain them through proper channels, such as going to a flower and bird market and picking up some birds that died while being kept.

Brilliant trick - keep a cat

Generally, birds are afraid of cats. If you keep a cat on the balcony, small birds such as sparrows will not dare to land, and they will fly away as soon as they see the cat!

Precautions: The premise of keeping a cat is that it will not harm your flowers and plants. Otherwise, you may end up driving the birds away and then have to find a way to deal with the cat!

Brilliant trick - intimidation with natural enemies

Find some pictures of birds' natural enemies, such as magpies, eagles, snakes, cats, and dogs. Enlarge and print them out, then paste them in places birds often visit, and the birds will be scared away!

Note: The several methods Huahua introduced today are mainly based on intimidation and will not really harm the birds. Flower lovers, please do not use overly extreme methods!

That is all the methods Huahua is introducing to everyone today!
