How does this affect birds?

Keeps cats away. Nothing to do with birds since they are usually higher up.

Messina Cat Stopper Spray will not adversely affect birds, other wildlife or humans. After the liquid dries, only cats can sense that it is there.

I spray the same brand's "squirrel stopper" it all over the feeders and feeder area and it doesn't seem to bother the birds a bit. They come just as regularly as when I don't spray. I also spray the hostas with their "deer stopper" product and the birds still come in the back yard where the plants are. I don't think these products bother birds in my experience.

Do you have water for the bigger birds nearby? I have a hanging birdbath in the tree next to my feeders and have never had any issues. If you are in the southwest like I am, all the animals are suffering from lack of water due to drought right now. They get it anywhere they can. Otherwise, it's better to be replacing the solution more often anyway. It's healthier for the hummers to keep the feeder cleaned and replaced every couple days in the heat anyway. LOTS of bacteria builds in sugar water in the heat which can kill the hummers. The big birds are actually keeping everyone healthier!

Nothing that I know of. But I have heard that if you wipe the outside of the red cap with white vinegar it will help and not hurt the birds.

Compared to other feeders we have had the fall through is minimal. We have numerous types of birds at our feeders and fine that it is only when the large birds invade such as crackles or cow birds that we have much of a problem and it is still less than any other feeder we have had. Love our No/No feeders!

Alan,Since I'm not an entomologist, I couldn't say with any certainty how it would affect bird mites, but it took care of my flea problem very nicely. I would contact Vet-Kem, Siphotrol's manufacturer, for that information. Also, your local veterinarian may have some ideas.Respectfully,Scott S.

I can see birds heat signatures when they are in bushes near the ground but the image is faint. I doubt that you could see a recently killed birds signature for very long. The colder the ground is in relation to the bird the better your chances.

The aluminium foil like side of the product is what remains exposed after installation so i don't think it will harm your birds, unless they try to eat it but i wouldn't see why they would do that. however the product does have some weight to it so i'm not sure how well it will stay on your walls.

I imagine that they will nibble the leaves that poke through, but we used this as a bird deterrent. Worked great for birds.

I have not experienced any detrimental effects on birds....I did find that this product does cause squirrels to avoid my yard at all cost....thus I can now enjoy vine ripened tomatoes without their teeth marks on them.... Or the constant taking a bit and moving on to the next. Build this helps

I don't know if it works on birds...it did NOT work for mice or ants. I would try a more proven method.

I have had mine down before the Wisconsin winter set in way before, to keep birds from flying into the window, works fine no problems, I have spacers between the bottom of the screen and window so when birds fly into the window they have a bit of airspace between the screen and window.

Can't imagine it not working for any bird. I have canaries and finches. They took to it instantly. Cuts down on the mess but not completely. I like that it helps keep their food clean. I have bought four of them, if that speaks for anything. I would definetly recommend it.

The sticky paper works more for flies for me and does a great job. I have not had any problems with birds and there are a lot around. The paper goes around on the sides where birds don't land. I have never even seen the birds near it. Maybe the light sound of it running keeps them away.

It doesn't affect the birds in my flower beds. I'm in California. They still come and make a mess looking for grubs. (hahaha)

It doesn't reflect. I have had great success in attracting all sorts of birds in the last 10 years. Never had an injury! :) Good luck. You'll love this feeder and so will the birdies!

Blackbirds love all the seeds. They are definably a pest just like the squirrels and I have to run them off continually. On this feeder you will have squirrel problems. The birds love the feeder but the squirrels will wrap themselves around the feeder and eat all the seed. I bought a squirrel proof feeder and hang both of them together which helps keep the squirrels away because I keep this feeder with a small amount of feed on the bottom and the squirrels have stop bothering the feed.

I notice it does not affect the birds because of the frequency. Birds are all over my yard. There is a different repeller that is set a different frequency to affect birds. Not this one!
