Go to Wal Mart or a Dollar store and buy several realistic looking rubber snakes......they're about $1 each. Drape them on several tree limbs in natural looking positions. Bet it will get their attention and they'll leave. I have some absolutely obnoxious blue jays that try to take over my deck and bird feeder. I lay out two rubber snakes and they flip out, screeching and squawking and leave. After they're gone I pick up my snakes and then the sweet timid birds get to eat!

If you can get high enough into the tree with a ladder, hot-glue 2 CD's together, blank sides facing outward. (There are always a ton of free AOL CDs around town) Tie them from several limbs with fishing line. They'll sway in the breeze and halitate sunlight. It will serve a double purpose. The birds will be repelled, and it will be really pretty

Have not tried but heard it works.
The pretty colored balls you see in birdbaths.
I have saw red, gold, blue, silver these are supposed to help keep birds away.
Good Luck..........

This is what my father did

He bought a bunch of pop gun ammo, then using a hammer, laid out a couple on the sidewalk and smashed a few
This went on every evening when it was loudest- for about a week or two. Eventually they stopped dropping by our tree.

Then next year, we had fewer birds- guess the word got around not to stop off at our residence- and we only used the pop caps a few times and it was all good after that.
