Does anyone have experience in using ultrasonic bird repellers? Do they

I need something that won't disturb my neighbours' and rid my large tree
of birds. They are making a terrible mess under the tree.

Thank you.




Have you considered a Daisy? I once relocated a flock of geese from
my neighborhood with one. They're not as dumb as you'd think: a few
plinks in the ass and the whole clan left.



Deadeye

An air rifle would be nice but it wouldn't be long before I was visited
by the local constabulary;-)




It's a tree. They are birds. That is what birds DO. You nicely provided
a place for them to roost, and now you want to chase them off?

Short of cutting down the tree, nothing much you can do that will work
on a long-term basis. I'd say get a cat, but their mess is even more
disgusting than what the birds leave. Plastic owls, shiny pinwheels,
etc, work only until the birds figure out they aren't really a threat.
As a kid, we used to put giant nets over the cherry trees so we could at
least keep part of the crop from the birds, but it was a major PITA and
not real pretty when in place.
