Rubber snakes and plastic owls work fine to fend off pigeons BUT after a
short time, if the object never moves or grabs a bird then the birds become
accustomed to it and ignore it.
I worked for a time at a place that had an outdoor cafeteria seating area,
this in San Diego on top of Point Loma. They had a lot of trouble with
scrub jays. So they put out a bunch of rubber snakes. For a few days you
would see the jays way back in the bushes but they finally decided that the
snakes were just decorative objects and returned to raiding unattended
plates.
