Default Keeping the birds away.

Soyou got up this morning after meticulously detailingyou Blazer last nightright? You see a big splat of nasty bird poo full of acidic purple boysen berry chunks in it... you are ticked off at this point and after a few swear words you declare war on the birds that put your precious paint job in jeopary of weathering. You get out the shotgun and kill a few of them over the course of a week. They are still under your car shelter and still taking dumps on your hood....
You hang up a rubber snake and they crap on it too...

Get you a fake OWL!!! They work!!!
Here is one similar to the one I have:


Seriously. I put one up under the shelter and they won't get within 20 feet of it. And it scares mom on occasions too which is worth it in and of itself...

Picked it up at a street vendor before a Veteran's day parade.

Is that owl like the one at Harbor Freight that has eyes that lite up and head that turns?

No, the one I have is just a plastic look alike. It looks similar to that image.
