Do they land and sit on the deck of the patio Steph? Or, just on the railing? If it's just on the railing...wrap it with aluminum foil! I know cats hate it (they won't scratch your furniture if you train them with foil around their fave scratching place)...so maybe it'll work for birds too. Either that or they'll be so vain that when they see their image in the foil, they will fall in love. Hmmmm! Lemme rethink this!
