How can I get rid of birds to my garden.


My garden has trees so birds comes I don’t want them to come because:


  1. They make to much noise and it can be diffult to sleep.
  2. There’s a bluebird who walks up and down the windowsill, lucky the window was closed, what if it comes in are they dangerous…and how can I get rid of this bluebird so it doesn’t come on windowsill

Thanks

    Trees will attract birds, it's what they do, even if yo stopped all birds they would still be next door, on your roof etc.
    Maybe easier to fit triple glazing in your bedroom?

    Should the bird come in it will be more scared than you are, open the windows wide, leave the room & close the door on your way out

    Bluebirds? What country are you in? The last bluebirds seen in the UK were flying over the white cliffs of Dover.

    The main thing is I don’t want them to come in my room 

    I could leave window closed but it too hot even in winter

    You could open your window a tiny bit.  I live in the wilds of Scotland with many many birds flying around and leave my windows and doors open and have never had a bird come in.  A neighbour did have one come down the chimney and made an unbelievable mess before caught.

    You could put net curtains up.
    Presumably you have curtains or blinds drawn at night?
    It's highly unlikely they would come in anyway.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Had a seagull get into the communal area of the tenement last year, the noise echoed round the building and it was guided to the exit.

    Never had a bird get in the flat and I've my windows open almost all year round.

    They are not dangerous and you can get a screen fitted in the window to stop things going in / getting out while the windows are open.

    It could see another bird, its reflection in the window.
    This won't occour as the light now changes towards end of summer and they don't have babies to feed.

    It would be protecting its territory from the intruder it saw reflected in the window.

    I am quite sure of you had moved in the room it would have flown away.

    The dawn chorus , heralding a new day, is a lovely sound.

    Unless you are not resident on UK, I presume you mean a blue tit- a small bird who is not going to harm you in any way. 

    Just wave your arms about or wave a towel or a scarf. It will soon fly off.
