How do I keep birds off my patio?
Birds keep flying on my patio and pooping all over everything. I have an old dog, and they used to get in his food. I started not letting his bowl stay out. His water bowl is still out, but they don't bother it.

Stop feeding the dog on the patio unless you are out there to keep birds away. No food, no birds.
IKR, I thought if I moved the food, they wouldn't find it :), but he's old and he eats soooo slow
If you leave the food out you may end up with more problems than birds. Rats love dog food as well. Feed him in another place in the yard or in the house, if you let him in the house. Keep his food in a sealed container. You must have a lot of birds to have this problem!
thanks for the response I have three trees in my backyard crazy but it never occurred to me to just move the bowl
