1. Mount a plastic hawk on or near your porch. The sight of a predator can scare the birds from the area and keep them from inhabiting your porch. Move the plastic hawk periodically, so the birds do not become accustom to the plastic hawk, rendering it ineffective.ird nests can block your ventilation systems, are made from flammable materials, and bird droppings can transmit disease. You can keep birds from nesting on your porch with different products designed to scare birds away from your property.
It is important to put the nestbox up well before nesting season, as many birds begin their search for nest sites in February. Make sure to position your box well: ideally, fix it two to five metres high on a wall, fence, or tree trunk, where predators (including cuts and squirrels) canât reach it.f you have a large garden you can have a mix of trees, such as maples, and most conifers, and native species. If you have a small garden with only room for one tree, consider a rowan, crab apple, small weeping birch, or native hawthorn.
