I have birds (sparrows) living behind my shutters. Has anyone used this product for birds?

I have not. But, I would not use it with shutters. It works like spray foam insulation in that expands once it hits the air. You'll have the foam oozing in between the shutters and it will make a terrible mess. There must be someother product that will work - ask at your local hardware store.

I did not have that particular problem. I did not find the product very effective at keeping "critters" away from my garden. I will not purchase it again.

Sometimes I see a Downy Woodpecker or a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, but mostly it is House Sparrows! I've used regular peanut butter suet.

We have mostly sparrows that get in to the feeder at the moment, but not having had it that long, I'm not sure. We will get Cardinals later on, so will have to see if they can get in through the holes. The feeder is wonderful, and may have to get another one, as we have a smaller one, but the birds ignore it. It might be worth trying it, as other small birds would love it anyway.

It's hard to say, but I'd give it a try. Be sure to move it to different locations every few days. Birds are smart and will eventually catch on that it's a decoy. Good luck!

The aluminium foil like side of the product is what remains exposed after installation so i don't think it will harm your birds, unless they try to eat it but i wouldn't see why they would do that. however the product does have some weight to it so i'm not sure how well it will stay on your walls.

Helen,My main concern was sparrows, and I read someone's report about smaller birds building nests inside the spikes. I decided to try the inexpensive package, and it has helped a lot. That's not to say that during the spawning season, these sparrows haven't tried building a nest inside the spikes. I have stayed on top of the situation and have noticed much less activity as time goes on.

I don't know about birds, never noticed. It does keep larger animals, such as rabbits out of my garden. Does not appear to work on deer. I can say that when I remove it after growing season there are bird droppings on my car and when it is out the bird droppings are not there on the car.

It's the perch. I presently use an IKEA metal bucket hanging from chains. Since July (in Texas) it has been popular with sparrows but no other birds. The titmouse loves to drink from the ant trap over the hummingbird feeder while leaning from a tree branch, which isn't always fresh. I finally added a branch across the bucket. More sparrows. Titmice don't care. I change the water every day. I tried a hanging bird bath but the squirrels broke it. I might try a regular bird bath next. Birds DO need water, but they also need to feel safe and may have another source that feels safer to them.

I have not had problems with birds, but have had 2 black snakes get tangled in it when it was on the ground-- I used it to protect my tulips, and when the foilage died, it was on the ground and they got trapped in it.

I purchased the hawk to keep birds out of our garden. It worked well.I am hoping over the winter that it will keep the crows/birds off of our winter pool cover.

This should NOT be used for birds. Birds need very little UVB and lighting for reptiles is too intense. Go with featherbrite, it's the best in my opinion

I don't think so. I don't have a feeder around and they still come on porch. Did have a bird fly into window, couple of times. It was more like it may have been going after insect than trying to fly through window, so not 100% sure if these work or not. Other than that bird, have not had issue.

I doubt the birds will attack themselves on your screened windows. The decals did not deter the birds on my uncovered windows though at all. I did not find the product effective at all.

I just used kitty litter and it worked out great! The owl works out great too. I've seen the same owl at a restaurant on the beach and they told me it keeps the birds away from the restaurant.
