How to scare birds away?

Question

I just planted grass seed in my yard. Birds keep coming in and eating the seed. Does anybody know how to scare them away? I tried hanging pie pans on a string so they make noise but its not working.

Answer 1

put rat poison in your grass. they will fly away then die then you will not have that problem anymore

Answer 2

Get one of those owls that sits and turns it heads. Motion detected. It is hard but the grass will grow anyway mine did.  

Answer 3

hi there

when i planted my lawn i put a few stakes in and then put some rope or twine and used a an old bed sheet and and tore them into strips and tied them on the rope or twine.(about 8 to 10 inches long, if you have to covert to your own measurements, i found this to work very well, also you can tie old damaged cds as well, you will acasionally get some birds get at the seed but you will keep most away. i hope this helps you. it is hard as the birds think it is food, but anything is worth trying
