Bird control devices keep pet birds from harming themselves and outdoor, or wild birds, from disrupting your household or leaving droppings on your patio and porch. Here's all you need to know about bird control devices.
What kind of bird control devices should I buy?
The kind of bird control devices that you decide to purchase depend on your need. There are two general kinds of bird control devices. Those that are needed inside of the home to maintain pet birds and those that are placed outside of the home to deter wild birds from landing on your roof.
Indoor bird control devices
Indoor bird control devices consist of cages and wing clippings. Bird cages are obviously designed to keep pet birds in a controlled environment. Bird cages should be placed in an area where the bird is protected from drafts and extreme temperature changes. They should be made of a material that is not hazardous to the bird and should be put in an area that predators, such as a house cat, are unable to reach.
As bird control devices, bird cages are great, as long as you get the correct cage. Small birds need cages that have closely spaced cage wiring. They also like cages that have both horizontally and vertically wires so they can climb up the cage. Larger birds need larger cages with larger spaces.
No matter what cage you decide to use bird control devices, make sure that it's big enough for the bird. It's always wise to get a the largest cage possible for your bird.
Outdoor bird control devices
Outdoor bird control devices are wonderful for humanely keeping birds off your roof. Pigeons tend to be one bird that homeowners consistently loath. They leave droppings all over the place and build nests in areas such as drains, that are inconvenient for homeowners.
Outdoor bird control devices such as bird control spikes, prevent these birds from even being able to land on your roof. Bird control spikes are outdoor bird control devices that stand in the air. Birds see the spikes as a landing obstacle and then avoid landing in that particular area.
Other outdoor bird control devices consist of bird repellants, which create a sticky landing area that birds will avoid. There are also outdoor bird control devices that create sounds that are abhorrent to birds. These outdoor bird control devices tend to be more expensive and are generally used in larger areas, such as golf courses.
