 Turkey Vulture Nuisance

I have a half dozen or more Turkey Vultures that like to hang out and crap on my roof. I am looking for ways to discourage them. I guess I could frighten them and then shoot them with my shotgun after they are off the roof.

Really not keen on killing them and would rather try other non lethal approaches. I was thinking that perhaps I could annoy them with an air soft rifle with plastic bbs to hit them while on the roof, don't have an air soft rifle, are they pretty accurate at say 150 feet shooting up to the roof 30 + feet in the air? any recommendations?

The roof is too high and too steep to get up there So Sad

My wife suggested high frequency sound ?

They used to roost for years at another house, and I used to feel sorry for the guy, he had a beautiful home that looked like crap with all the white droppings and feathers, these are really big birds.

Now it is my turn.

How about using a BB gun rifle, would that lose its trajectory shooting from 100+ feet up to a height of 30 feet on the roof?

Harvey,

You wiry old son of gun, don't think that the thought has not crossed my mind. They like freshly dead or soon to be dead critters! Laughing out loud

I have read that other than pellet rifles the vultures can be encouraged to roost elsewhere if you hang an effigy of one of them from its feet where you don't want them to be. And this only works if you also shine a powerful laser beam at them in addition.

So far I have not seen any turkey vulture dolls on the internet Wink yeah right Really I have looked.

Also Turkey Vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, so you need a special permit to shoot them.

Another tidbit, because they deal with bacteria laden road kill they have the habit of urinating on their legs because the acid kills the bacteria. Hence why my roof is such a mess as they do this where they roost. Their defense system is to vomit on their attacker with that caustic mix of regurgitated road kill.

OK more than you wanted to know.

Dennis

Well I never did anything about the Vultures other than start using my wood stove. I guess they don't like smoke, thank God Wink yeah right Have not seen them for a while, but I am sure they will be back in the spring.
