Will Owl Decoy keep swallows from nesting?
To keep the Mallard ducks from sunning on the dock and fouling the dock with duck droppings, we purchased a fake owl and placed it at the end of the dock. For the last three days the Mallard’s haven’t been on the dock, so it looks like the owl decoy is working. I have one problem with this, will this owl decoy keep birds from building nests on the property? Does anyone know about this? Please comment. I want swallows to build nests, and other birds as well. So, maybe I’ll have to put up with duck dung on the dock.
Thanks, Alaska Artist Gail Niebrugge
