Bogged down with ...Sorry for the delay in replying. Bogged down with end-of-term paperwork.<br /><br />Putting chicken mesh around a chimney pot is relatively simple if you're not afraid of heights, like me. That way the chimney still works.<br /><br />My birdie friends now stop over on the trees a few more metres away from my window because I have some plastic shopping bags hanging on the balcony above my window. It's not facade enhancing but it works. <br /><br />If anyone can suggest a better-looking solution, I'll be all ears.Mara Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830998547445582411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646617447222120818.post-16000849494544625442012-03-15T14:50:00.979+00:002012-03-15T14:50:00.979+00:00So many questions!

Carole, you are definitely on the right track!<br /><br />A clue: It's a very simple trick my neighbour suggested last year but it isn't very pretty, which is why I didn't use it then.<br /><br />This chimney pot is not mine. Mine is a very common type and I haven't posted a picture of it yet. What happened to you, Carole, has happened to me in my parents' house up north. lol. Believe me, chicken mesh is our friend!Mara Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830998547445582411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646617447222120818.post-66756155945957567662012-03-14T23:25:24.034+00:002012-03-14T23:25:24.034+00:00If that is your chimney pot it's amazing!
D...If that is your chimney pot it's amazing! <br /><br /><br />Did you climb up and wrap the chicken wire around it? I think we will need to mesh our chimney over our hob. I was cooking yesterday when I saw something fall onto my hob. On closer inspection it was a bird's poop! Lucky all the pans were covered LOL :)<br /><br />I think if I wanted to scare birds away I would make something that blowes in the breeze so there is movement. Am I close?Carolehttp://pigletinportugal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646617447222120818.post-9524106270230442012012-03-14T22:17:44.619+00:002012-03-14T22:17:44.619+00:00okay so what did you do ???okay so what did you do ???Chronicles of Illusionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168156674895078729noreply@blogger.com
