You know those strips of shiny material that Lee Valley sells, to repel =
birds?  Does this stuff work?  Also, would shiny ribbon (which looks =
pretty similar) from the $ store also work? =20
I would buy some of the $ store stuff and try hanging some strips from =
the top of the window outside, to flutter in the breeze.  Or maybe twist =
them and attach at both top and bottom of the window.
I am planning to attach some of this stuff around our highbush =
blueberries when they ripen, in hopes of keeping the birds from =
decimating our crop; so I would really appreciate knowing if anyone else =
has had success with this technique.

  That crow has flown into the living room window twice more and it =
seems to bang harder each time. Any ideas for something I can hang in =
the window to discourage the crow? It seems to be getting aggressive. =
Plus, if I could discourage one, perhaps the gang that dances on the =
roof over my bedroom at dawn would leave with him. I don=92t mind them =
in the trees along the back of my lot, but they are coming closer and =
getting bolder all the time.
