Here's what you do:

1) Get a roll of toilet paper.


2) Go outside and stand next to tree when it is full of birds.


3) Throw the toilet paper roll over top of tree several times.

Something about the toilet paper irritates the birds. It bothers their eyes, with the constant movement in the wind.

With the toilet paper draped over your tree, the birds will find some other tree to sit in, so make sure you cover your other trees in a few rolls of toilet paper, also.

Guarantee the bird problem will be over!

If there were a fountain spitting sewage into the air in your front yard, would you park under it??????? Why then would you park under a tree???? It reminds me of the now deceased comedian...Sam Kinneson....had a routine about seeing pictures of starving children on the t.v. asking for donations. His reaction was "Of course you're starving....YOU LIVE IN THE DESERT! MOOOOOOOVE!

Please don't get upset now, but what is the arrogance of humankind that thinks the world is for them alone?

Move your car dude. Leave the birds alone.

well, the tree is right next to the drive way. I dont' really have much of an option as far as parking it elsewhere. And its not just the bird crap, the birds are loud as heck and there are tons of them. Its as if you had a stray neighborhood dog who can't stop barking all night long.

I guess if we have an insect/pest problem inside our homes, we should move out of our homes and live in the wild?

Contact your local tree trimmer and have them trim it down till it's bare, that should alleviate the bird issue..

We had a neighbor with the same problem. He was two houses away, and his tree always had a ton of birds every evening. I started taping a firecracker to a walnut, and use my wrist rocket to send the walnut into the middle of the flock. It worked like a charm, and was funny as hell! The best thing was that no one knew who was doing it. Yuk Yuk Yuk!

Easy, guys! I hate to see 2 of my "buds" get into it here. Let's not get personal and keep it light hearted like the way this thread started out.
