Owl Statue

The presence of an owl frightens birds, so owl statues like this are used to keep birds away from places they could harm themselves, damage property, or just make a mess.

Bluejays don't get scared. They just get even.

Blue jays.

Such wise asses.

I see it works about as well as the hawk silhouette that I taped to my back-of-the-house sliding glass doors in a futile attempt to keep a female cardinal from repeatedly attempting to bash her brains out by flying into the window.

(Either she didn't make it through last winter or she finally gave it up as a bad job, since I haven't seen her in rather a while.)
