Who Needs a Scarecrow?!

Bet you can't guess what's in the picture above! Not only that, bet you can't imagine why I'd place CDs underneath the deck!



I read in a magazine that hanging CDs will keep birds away. Actually, even aluminum foil might work as well.

And why would I want to keep the birds away? Several months ago we had a nest at the side of the deck. Any time we'd go by the nest the male bird would come swooping down on us. After the babies had flown off I removed the nest and container it was in. Did that do the trick? Nope. Not long after, another bird, or maybe the same one, built a nest underneath the deck.

So far so good! The wobbly CDs are preventing birds from building nests! Yeah!
