What is the surface like just outside the window? My initial thought was "the black one." It's big and more realistic looking than the rest.

But where are you putting it, do you have a bed full of black mulch, green grass, something else?

I have 1-2" white stone all around the house.
Before I left for biking this am..I cleaned the bird smudge off the window pane and placed the black snake just to the front of it.
Three hours later...I'm back and there is no smear on the glass. I think he quit.

If it was a blackbird or sparrow...I have an easy solution, but the Robin is our state bird....

Cool. So you'd have tried to reason with the blackbird or sparrow, but those damned Robin's are unreasonable divas because of their status. I get it.

^^^ There would have been no reasoning involved!

I could have came up with a much better state bird than a Robin...but so it is.

I had to pull down a robin's nest from my outside light twice a day for over a week.
It was relentless, but I won in the end.
Getting back at it for s#itting all over my Tundra! (And no bird crap on my garage wall)

We moved to the country. I don't (yet) have my car in a garage. I spent a few days (multiple times per day) pulling nesting material out of the various vents on the boxster because a wren thought it was a great place to nest. I eventually cleaned out the vents and then covered all 4 with aluminum foil for days. A few weeks later, I ended up having to clean out the wife's outback (her car isn't here all of the time like mine is).

They work! :)

OK, so it's working for the window. Is the other pic telling us that it keeps the turtles from soaking up the rays on the ramp or getting to their food too?

I put the green one on the ramp to see what they would do.
They didn't even seem to notice it. On the second day, I pulled it up higher (where it is in pic) and noticed that when the tail was in the water the turtles had chewed the end off. :)

Hahahaha.

I've recently read that some snakes will eat baby turtles, but that if snakes get too close to the wrong turtles, the turtles will happily take a bite out of the snake.

I had to clean a bunch of bird poop off of the mirrors on my daughter's car the other day and thought about this thread. The culprit was a bluebird, what a mess!!!
I have observed birds attacking their reflections in the chrome rims on my '97 SHO, they fly into the rim with their feet straight out in front, bounce back only to repeat the process a few times before finally flying off. Birds be craycray!!!

^^^ Do like I did...get some snakes from the Amazon.

And gorilla glue them to your chrome rims!

Or...thread them thru the slots and fasten them with zip-ties.:)

^^^ fantastic ideas!!! May be the start of a new trend!!! [emoji23]
