Some effective methods for driving away birds from your garden without causing them any harm include installing wind chimes or moveable scarecrows, planting strongly scented herbs such as sage and rosemary, using sound devices such as tape recorders and radio transmitters, providing alternative food sources, reducing vegetation in the area and eliminating roosting spots. You can also try spraying your plants with natural repellents like perfume or fabric softener. Repellent materials placed around the garden may also help drive away birds.

Some effective methods to drive away birds from your garden without causing them any harm include installing bird netting, erecting wind chimes or hanging shiny objects from trees that are near bird perching spots; as well as playing audio deterrents such as recordings of distress calls or predator sounds. For persistent birds, you can also use visual repellents such as fluttering ribbons or balloons. Finally, you can also introduce some natural predators such as barn owls, cats and dogs into the garden which could help to keep the bird population in check.
