No, not PRS birds:)
mourning doves! They sit on the rails of my deck for hours cleaning themselves and crapping all over! Gahhhhh!!! I'm starting to want to hunt them(legal here) and I don't hunt ANYTHING AT ALL. I don't want unsightly bird spikes, eyeballs or fake owls out here. I don't have plants, weeds or bird feed anywhere in my yard. So I don't feel I'm doing anything to attract them. I'm thinking of trying that reflective bird tape? Anyone have any other ideas short of frying them up for dinner?:dontknow:
 
Isn't there a device u can get that repels pets. Maybe they have one for birds. Good luck. We have a lot of rabbits in my sub. My yard is good only cause of my 65 pound dog. But they seem to know she will not go pass my property line. Anyone know Elmer?
 
A cat, a BB gun, or go get Ted.
Nugent will put down his PRS, don his camo's, and bust out his pump-action 12 gauge on em.:evil:

Wait a minute, how do you know they're there for hours? I used to get Scrub Jays dive bombing the cats and dog. After clapping hands and throw dirt, I got a BB gun, popped him and after he called for backup(six in all), I popped that ass again. No more problems.

My office face the deck and they sit there taunting me. Even if I go out, they won't move to I walk right up, They ain't scared.

Hey Man;

WOW!! it's really refreshing that someone who has this problem doesn't want to randomly kill these birds. Pretty unusual and kind of awesome.
I haven't any great solution, and you may have to whack them at some point.
Just seems to me that we have no shortage of greed, hate and violence in this world.
No need to off birds for being birds .
I think Celine Dion might be the answer ... worse than waterboarding (lol).

Yeah, I like wildlife. Probably won't get to that point unless they're IN my house, then the gloves are off.
 
Motion sensored water blaster . No harm to the birds and funny as hell to watch ....
 
In all seriousness you may want to try hanging some shiny streamers off the railing. This deters a lot of critters for some reason.

He has a sign-in sheet.

Two solutions.

One - plug in the rail.

Two, since you said your office faces the rail, I assume you're working from home. So...nude telecommuting. But under no circumstances can you do this before 8 AM. You know, because of the early bird.

I problem aren't the Doves which never roost in the house's nooks-n-crannies, it's damn Pigeon's who some dumb ass decided to band them. I also have Raccoons from the storm drain eating the cat food.
 
So are these old school birds, J-birds, or brushstroke birds?

Wait, I think based on your description they might be dirty birds.

Ha, I wish I was a desk jockey working from home! Office is an overstatement- more like the room that has my desk and computer. I sit in there in the morning on weekends and when I work 2nd shift to drink my coffee, listen to music and hit the forum. Equivalent to coffee and newspaper.

Yeah, no pigeons by me. Damn mourning doves are it. They come in the mornings, hang out for a few hours cleaning themselves on my deck railing and crap all over while they're here.

Yeah, that's the "bird tape" I was referring to.
 
Come to think of it, my neighbor has bird feeders in his yard. Maybe they eat over there, then come sit on my deck and sh!t all over cause I don't feed them. Bastages!
