We have shrub on the other side of our property fence. He has a nest there I believe. He chases all birds away from our feeders even after I have spread them further. I will try a couple of owl decoys on the fence first. Thank you for your informative information. I will let you know how thing go.
ReplyI have a lovely bluebird couple living in my birdhouse and the mockingbirds attack them. I want to scare off the mockingbirds not the bluebirds. Suggestions?
ReplyFully auto airsoft rifles work great!! They aren’t lethal unless you’re that kind of person and in that case its you thats the problem. The birds also start to recognize the sound it makes and take off after the first shot, after that they eventually just stop coming around. Ive been battling them for years and this works the best.
Replylooney tunes like yourself are the reason the country is in the shape we’re in, kill all the noisy bastards the sooner we’re rid of them the better
ReplyMockingbirds have nested in a small cultured ficus near my front door. The male dive bombs us every time we leave and come home. It hasn’t hurt us. I don’t want to hurt them or their nest but what can I do to ward them off? Thanks.
ReplyI can’t decide whether the suggestions in article are serious or not. Even our outdoor cat who sleeps on the porch isn’t a deterrent for the mockingbirds. They perch on the back of my furniture while the cat lounges.
ReplyI used a leaf blower to literally blow him out of my tree. Haven’t heard him since. Must have scared the heck out of him.
ReplyThe raddest thing ever happened year before last (so 2017)
A mockingbird made itself home in a neighbors huge tree in their front yard in our cul de sac which is on a hill so the noise really echos which makes it even more annoying to hear.
Anyhow, we also have a wise old owl around and he was or seemed like he was gone but then one night , just as the mockingbird was about to start going off real loud with his stupid song all night, i kid you not, i heard what sounded like huge winds swoop in through the leaves on that tree and i heard one little peep out of that mockingbird which sound was cut short and I am sure it was that awesome owl who choked that birds neck and then …..peace…dead silence… most awesome sound i ever heard in my whole entire life.
Didnt hear another mockingbird until this year and now there is not just one of them. I can hear several echoing all over the place. Its sooooooo fricken bad.
My only hope is the owl is still around but waiting until that mockingbird thinks its safe here before he will take care of this nuisance of a bird.
Owls are my hero! 🙃
It appears that mocking birds somehow removed 3 cardinal eggs from nest.. still 1 egg remaining, but cardinals have not come back… found broken eggs on lawn.
