Birds nesting in my carport

Question

Do you have an idea of how I can stop sparrows from nesting in my large carport? They make a mess all over my car. Each time I walk outdoors they fly around and hit walls, I hate for them to get hurt. Thank you, Victoria

You might try installing a fake owl or long rubber black snake or hanging silver pie plates that twirl in the wind...

Get a cat.

I have heard that hanging CD´s keep pigeons away (the reflective light moving) so it might help with sparrows..

hang some shiny glass bird feeders from a post or yard trees

Hi Victoria. Are they perched up some place in the carport? What are they sitting on?

Wanda sinnema · Answer

sparrows don't like shiny things..... we used to hang pie pans, or streamers of foil.. it takes several.. depending on the size of the area..another trick is old CD's, again it takes quite a few... they don't like the reflective quality... hang at different heights so the breeze and sun make them twirl and spin....this also works for birds and fruit trees....

I have heard of the above remedies also. Do you know how they get in and out? Is there any opening you can seal?

I have six idea's for keeping sparrows out of your carport. 1. Record sounds of predatory birds and set the recorder for 1 hr. increments. 2. Place a plastic owl in the carport. 3. get a cat 4. Use wire mess or a screen on all open areas. 5. Place grain under a nearby tree to attract them to a new area. 6. Ask your local hardware store if they carry air compressors to rig up for this purpose to scare them away. Good Luck!
