since lockdown I have set up a 6 foot bird table in my back yard and its great pleasure watching sparrows , robins and the like feeding
The problem is the local cats are hanging around and if legal I would shoot them but its not so I am going to have to bring in some defences.
My next door neighbour who owns 3 of the bloody things says just shoot them with a water pistol but they are very sly creatures and its very hard to catch them at it .
Others have suggested orange peel , water bottles , mirrors , lemon spray etc and some have suggested getting a cat which is out of the question as I hate the feckers
Anyone have one of those cat sonic alarm things ? Any luck and can you suggest a model that will see the little buggers off ?
Cheers
ive got the same problem nightmare they are
I used to feed the birds, but stopped when I saw a rat on the bird table.
Anyone know how to deter them?

This is the best rated , going to give it a go
Feck off tiddles , here comes sabbath
How about not setting up a potential death trap for the birds purely for your own pleasure?
Those sonic things are a waste of money. Next doors cat used to sit preening itself right in front of ours.
Its not the cats though I agree they are a pain its rats at night id be worried about.
Bird feed and its not necessary anyway can attract rats.
Can you still buy tubs of lion shit from zoo shops - supposed to put moggies off. No good if it dries out though.
Otherwise there are a lot of plants that cats don't like that work alongside other 'anti cat' stuff.
