I'm thinking that a plastic snake or something might scare them away.
but I hear that it doesn't work. (Your opinion?)
To keep the problem to a bare minimum, I try to only feed her at certain times and only what she can eat so that there's little to none left over.
But the birds are so bold, and my dog has so little hunting-instinct, that the birds will land on her food dish wile she is eating it! I looked out the kitchen window and was shocked to see a fat pigeon peck my dog when she tried to eat out of her own food dish!
My dog just walked away, it's so sad, I know.
They always get in her water dish, it's disgusting to see them swim and bathe in it.
When the dog is inside, I have her water dish inside as well, but when I'm at school the dog stays out and she will drink that dirty water!
A smaller problem is squirrels, they will occasionally ransack her food area when she isn't around. (She will chase squirrels, even if she's not good at it)
Before you suggest it, my Mom won't allow me to put her food dish in the house, because she makes a mess when she eats.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas that might help me?
