Keeping birds out the house

3.6K Posts


We’ve just opened up the kitchen rear wall to fit bifolding doors (opening is only 2.7m wide) this week, and in the last 4 days we’ve already had 3 sparrows fly in and around the kitchen (currently a building site).
We do feed the garden birds, and I get through 25kg of feed every 2 months so the garden is always busy.
is there any way of keeping the birds from flying into the opening? Other than keeping the new doors closed?

Thank you everyone in advance!

I have net and string curtains on a tension rod so I can take it down, put it up at will so it's not permanent.
But don't the tv designers say "bring the garden into the house?"
I'm thinking though that at the moment they are just a bit confused and once it's a room this shouldn't happen. It's not something I've heard any one say.
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
We had double patio door in the last house.
We got birds flying in if they were open, particularly robins.
We had a beautiful imprint of an owl in flight on the glass one morning.
We did have stickers on the them but that didn't stop the birds trying to fly through them.
I'll try a temporary net when the doors are opened as an education for the birds and hope they learn. The occasional sparrow isnt an issue but we get a long of ring necked parakeets around our way so dont fancy chasing those out!
