Don't have anything out that will bring them back to eat.
Dove's eat seeds so unless you want to live in A desert getting rid of them will be futile.
Black bird's are worse! They eat anything they can shove in their beak! Seeds, insects, road kill, you name it! Again, I doubt anything short of A 12 bore will keep them away for long and the authorities frown in gunfire in the city!!
I hang some CDs in the yard to scare the birds away
Exactly! The one blessing is that there not geese! My brother lives near A lake and his back yard is A recreation area and fast food stop for geese heading to the Canadian breeding grounds and what goes in comes out!
At my old house I had masonite siding and the Woodpeckers started excavating nests in it! As they are A protected species there is nothing you can do and no amount of old CD's, owl decoys or bird scaring device's could keep them away during the mating season!!
