Reflective bird tape is quite effective, especially if a breeze moves it around.

 

The only downside is that it also works on some humans.

Buy a bigger bird. I had a bit of a pigeon problem and hung a bird mobile simmilar to below. It flaps its wings in the breeze, and keeps them away.

 

The pigeons landed on this type of "deterrent".

 

 In the end simply had a professional pest control guy come and fit netting that is all but invisible and spikes on the perch areas. Never had a problem since, money well spent.

Not for me. I hate balconies with nets and won’t rent or live there.

Someone suggested a laser pen light. Got one from Lazada for Bht 193 and it seems to work, they fly off when the beam hits them. Shall do it for a few days to prove it.

It's a bit hot at the moment to be sitting on my lawn, so at 6pm I shall crack open a Federbrau, move my balcony chair onto the lawn, tune into Caroline Flashback and zap the buggers.
