I have a massive tree in my backyard. It hangs over our patio, which had a ton of furniture. Birds and squirrels are constantly in the tree above, pooping or making acorns fall while I am sitting out there

Any ideas how to scare them off? The tree is too tall to hang anything in the branches. Not sure an owl decoy at ground level would do much. TIA

Put feeders out to lure the birds away. As for squirrels, get the cone/baffles to put under the feeders. Tbe squirrels will hang out under them and eat the seed the birds throw out.

None of this will likely eliminate your issue, but may reduce it. No way to completely stop it unless you cut the tree down.

Short of building some type of gazebo or other roofed area under that part of the tree overhanging you outdoor living area, looks like your birdshit out of luck.

Not sure how well it work for birds in a tree, but a couple fake hawk decoys might help, at least temporarily.
