I was wondering Where to buy Myler? I'm wanting to make a sparrow spooker to discouraging them from coming since they are not wanted in this country. and we are wanting the violet green swallows in our backyard that comes in our backyard instead! thanks.

I'm not to sure you could try looking them up on website & see if you can get them via mailorder or if you are feeling really creative you could make one

Myler: Where to buy?

You could buy mylar balloons (the silvery ones)...usually available in dollar stores, gift shops, etc. and cut it into strips.

I saw a big roll of the stuff on ebay the other day, but as others have said, you could probably just use old balloons.

Alternatively, you could try the plastic bags from jumbo-sized snacks/chips it's not mylar, but it is silvered on the inside and the effect would be much the same.
