Maybe one of those owl decoys with he bobbing head, too.


Those don't work. We have 2 owls and still doves nesting on top of every single piling at the camp.

Gotta shoot them down or rig to where they will not nest, which is not as easy as you would think.

and they build the shittiest nest...

Three or four sticks laid across a limb or other shoddy perch. No one likes to hear it, but doves are some of the dumbest, laziest, clumsy birds in Nature. I like having them around, though, because they are much easier targets for Hawks instead of them going after my Purple Martins.

Let them nest and watch the beauty of nature? I did that one year in my shop. Watched the eggs hatch, feeding the little mouths, blah blah... Was sitting outside when the little birds first jumped out of nest and my dog immediately ate every one of them. I looked at her and was like, oh well....


If it was in a carport, I wouldn’t care. I don’t want to close them in or lock them out after the eggs are laid or hatched.
