Sparrows can be found in Africa and Asia. Birds fly to many gardens and farms, i.e. to places that have been adapted by man. They are useful because they eat insects and their population is constantly decreasing. They have been under protection since 2004, so it is worth trying not to harm them. While the presence of sparrows in the garden can bring many benefits, the situation is a bit different in cities – birds often pollute balconies with their droppings. How to scare away sparrows? You won’t hurt them with these simple methods.

How to get rid of sparrows? Use colorful fans and the power of fragrances
If sparrows contaminate yours and you would like them to leave for good and look for another, safe place, there are simple ways to scare them away. Importantly, they will not harm the birds, but only encourage them to “move”.
- Put up colorful windmills “Moving them around in the wind will scare the birds, and they’ll fly away quickly.” You can place items in pots with balcony flowers or attach them to a fence element. Remember to change the place from time to time, because if the fans are constantly in the same place, the birds may get used to them.
- Bet on odors that are unpleasant for sparrows “If the birds pick up a scent that they don’t like, they’ll definitely decide to settle somewhere else. Vinegar will work (you can, for example, wash balcony tiles with a vinegar solution) or dishwashing liquid.
Scarecrow? You can make it at home for pennies
In addition to fans and repellent scents, you can also prepare a scarecrow yourself at home. This is a good way for those who have homes away from cities. @enchantedgardensrichmond’s TikTok shows how to do it.
- Prepare two sticks – one shorter, one longer. Pin them together to form a cross shape.
- Dress the dummy in old, unnecessary clothes and fill the inside with e.g. cotton or straw.
- Make the doll look human to scare away the sparrows.
You can also attach CDs to the scarecrow, the glow of which will scare away birds, and attach bottles or cans with stones to her hands, which will make sounds.
