ᐅ Birds on the ridge of the roof – how to deter them?

Hello everyone,
depending on the weather, many birds sit on the roof ridge above our house. They quite often leave their droppings on our terrace.
Does anyone know of any products that can gently deter the animals?

What about trees and shrubs in the surrounding area? Is it bird-friendly?

Well, if you build your house and terrace in an area with lots of bird droppings, it’s your own fault ;o)

Just kidding. Trees help with that. Here, all the roof ridges are also “covered.” It’s just nature. I don’t find it problematic. Besides, the terrace is covered anyway.

"bird protection roof ridge"

buy; screw on; enjoy that no disturbing animals are present in your surroundings anymore. It’s best to concrete the lawn, which provides a lasting solution against moles!

You can only write something like this if you’ve never had any problems with this issue. Sometimes you have to look beyond your own perspective or simply choose not to comment. Of course, it’s nice when animals like birds are present on your property, but I know that it can really become a nuisance. Several moles, by the way, can also be a nuisance.

I’d like to see how you’d react if, for example, a huge flock of jackdaws settled on your property. Having a whole forest nearby won’t help either. My grandparents had this problem. The entire property was covered in droppings, and everything that wasn’t nailed down was used for building nests. By the way, they had seven protected beech trees on their property.

A solution was found with the help of a hunter friend, without harming the jackdaws—they probably just got the scare of their lives. I don’t know if it was legal, so I won’t say what exactly they did.
