    They don't like reflections. You can make a hanging of old CDs and the reflection from them will keep them away.

    We are installing a water feature/fountain in our patio area. Some are concerned it will attract birds, and it may. I hope we don't have too many complaints about birds. I am thinking of putting in a couple of small fish. We will be using a large pot with a solar floating fountain. I hope to post it once it's done.

    Consider giving them a feeding station in an area area from the deck. I spread a small amount of seed with a container of water and enjoy watching. I have a pair of mallards which visit each year. Using visual deterrents as previously suggested near the deck will also help.
