Thinking of picking up a Class A pressurized water extinguisher to scare off birds from the 50 year old live oak that shades my driveway. Generally I scare them off at night when they’re roosting as to condition them to avoid my tree. I have one of those push type super soakers that kids use in pools. It works well enough but sometimes can’t get to the birds that are higher up, think more than 20-25 feet.
Green lasers apparently work but I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced example and I’m not convinced the white-winged doves that are the issue will be threatened by a green laser. Seems that a Class A extinguisher is generally cheaper and I know for certain that a squirt of water works.
I live in a neighborhood so a BB/pellet gun really isn’t an option and I’m also not trying to wound the birds. Same with loud noises being that I’m scaring them off at night.
Aside from the extinguisher, can y’all think of any other good options that will reach 30 feet or more? Anyone with experience using green lasers on birds?
