Our bedroom A/C -- damn birds like it.

Turning it on does nothing to them -- they remain.

ASIDE:
When I lived in an appartment, with balcony, a pigeon pair
took to it. *Then they built a nest, complete with eggs.

I knew full well that once those chicks grew up and wanted
to have their own nests, that they'd come right back *there*.
There'd be NO getting rid of them, then.

SO, I got my trusty tennis racket, went out there, and killed
the two doves, and tossed the eggs.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

(Yes, friend inside watching me was a bit, uh, shocked! :-) *)

END ASIDE:

Now that I'm living in a house, with a/c facing the back-yard
(huge slope down away from house) and on the 3rd floor, it is
pretty dangerous, at least for me (don't like heights, edges
of cliffs, etc), to put up a ladder (a LONG ladder) and climb
up and do what's needed.

MY QUESTION:

How to get rid of THESE birds, and for the future, how to keep
them from coming back?

Well, how about spreading some lye on everything? *Or spraying
poison all over the inside, enough to drift out the back
and settle there too. *THAT would work just fine! *RIGHT?

Only problem is that there'd be no one left inside to appreciate
the lack of birds. * :-(

Ideas?

Climbing a ladder 3 stories up isn't for you. That's what you have
kids for. At about 15 they are fearless, want to prove that they can
do what Dad can't, and they bounce pretty well.

Otherwise, you'll need to put up one of those hawk/owl decoys so scare
off the cute little birdies.
