If you want more information on this method, you can look at my previous CD Mobile bird scaring post. This is a cheap option but is not very effective in my opinion, and doesn’t work in many conditions, such as low light, overcast, raining. Some CD mobiles I have seen have holes drilled in the top of them to run the string, this is just to make it easier to hang. All you need to do is tie some string to some CD’s and hang them up around the area which has birds. You can make an old CD mobile (CD’s tied on a string) if you want to soley rely on reflective light to scare birds away. Even though you are making it yourself, if you are using light to surprise and scare birds, then using a reflective ribbon is a cheap way to go, if you don’t have anything else lying around. The eyes also are glass which is used to make the fake predator birds look more real, you could use leftover buttons or glossy plastic. If you look at the shape of the head of the owl or falcon, that is what scares birds, so make sure you get this right. You can simply make fake birds out of styrofoam, plastic bottles, milk cartons, even foil wrapped in masking/duct tape. If you want to make a fake predator bird like a owl or falcon then that is relatively simple. Some store bought bird scarers don’t work so why spend your time making a scarer that doesn’t work either?ĭepending on the bird scarer you want will depend on how complicated your task becomes. Because what scares birds and what people think scares birds can be two different things. The most important thing to know before you make a bird scarer is to know what birds respond to. Making a bird scarer is mostly an arts and craft exercise which can be a fun Sunday afternoon task. The good news is these bird scarers are always not as hard as they seem to make yourself. For a long time there was only scare crows, but now there seems to be many different ways you can scare birds from your property. Bird scarers sold on the internet and at hardware stores have become quite a large industry over the last ten years. If you are wondering how to make a bird scarer yourself, then your not alone.
