I've got a cedar shake ranch with a dense population of thrushes around it. There's one spot on the house which, for whatever reason, attracts the birds. I understand that this behavior is called "drumming". I find myself replacing 3-5 shakes a year and going nuts at 0-dark-thirty in the a.m. when it starts. Has anyone come up with a practical, humane repellant? I have no problem using the old Ithaca, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Any tips would be appreciated.
