Why are buzzards on my roof.

At first i thought it was sort of cool until i saw they were pulling up the metal. A vulture typically poses little to no problems in the yard but if its presence bothers you its droppings are a mess or it s causing damage to your roof or another structure scaring it away is. Commonly referred to as buzzards vultures are found throughout the united states and can be destructive when they decide to roost on roofs. If a single line isn t sufficient install monofilament netting over the roof.

Obstruct areas where vultures and buzzards roost. During late december 2009 i had a flock of turkey vultures begin appearing on my roof from around 9am 12 pm. The protruding pointy spikes prevent birds from settling on your rooftop. Put up a tight wire 8 inches above roof peaks and running parallel to it to prevent buzzards from perching on the roof.

If the line sags much lower buzzards can straddle the line. Both black and turkey vultures also affect the quality of life for area residents. They can damage vehicles by scratching paint removing rubber seals and wipers and ripping vinyl seat covers from boats and tractors. If the line is much higher than 8 inches the buzzards can sit underneath the line.

Install steel spike strips on areas of your roof where these birds perch and roost. If the birds believe the dead vulture is real they will assume the area is unsafe and stay away. If trees are the preferred roosting area remove the trees or cover them in bird netting to keep the buzzards and vultures from landing on.
