Hello:
I've tried searching the forum but am getting an "image error" when I try different search strings so I have had no luck finding the information I am looking for, so I hope I can post this kind of request.
First, I love birds. I am not really a watcher but have taken many photos of all kinds of birds from all over the world back when I traveled a lot.
Now that I have settled down I don't get to do much of that any longer.
I am hoping someone can help me identify the birds in the video here https://youtu.be/VfJ1ttu_Dns and the photo I took around 5:30 PM on November 22, 2017.
These birds are black with what appears to be a reddish brown underbelly (may have been the light) and are about the size of a small chicken.
I have lived in my house for the past year. The entire neighborhood had hundreds, if not more, of these birds.
There are beautiful and graceful when they fly. Their sounds are pleasant and don't bother any of my neighbors that I know of or our family.
The issue is... our tree is directly over our driveway and we cannot keep it, the cars in the driveway and that park in front of our home or our walkway and entrance to our home clean. There are 25-30 birds in the tree all the time. Perhaps more.
I am hoping someone here can 1) identify the birds and 2) tell me how to humanly keep them out of our tree.
I don't want to hurt them. I just don't want to have to continue walking through their mess to get into my home and to have to clean up after them daily.
Can anyone help?
Thanking everyone in advance.
