    I was once told to hang a picture of an owl in the window.
    It was some time ago, I can't remember how well it worked.

    I have been told that for woodpeckers, hang something that looks like snakes from your gutters on your house. I think this person used either rubber hose, belts, or ties to simulate snakes. Woodpeckers do not like snakes. Can't help with other birds except I've heard CDs on fishing line do work to keep birds from flyinh into the windows.

    My sister-in-law hangs a wreath on the window. Works great.

    We have a blow up yellow ball, about the size of a beach ball. It has red circles, like bullseyes on 4 sides and the center ring is reflective. It has kept the cardinal off my red car. It really works. Scared our 23 yr old son when he came home late the night my DH hung it in the tree next to my car. It came down the next day. son complained too much. Yes the cardinal is back. Guess he like the big, silent type.
