Alright guys, 10x10 Coonhound kennel, in town. Has a roof built over it. These birds come in high numbers, and they crap in the water, bathe in it and eat the food. A pellet takes one here and there but I am not around enough or do I have enough time to sit all day. Any ideas to keep them away? Any help appreciated.

put a terrier in the kennel for a few days. I suspect this is a local group of starlings and I would put a starling trap out and enter them in the food chain. More might start up but I doubt it. If the roof has exposed joists I would eliminate the access. I hate those nasty birds.

Grackles are not protected here where they areconsidered a serious nuicsance.

Our Regulations are as such: Unprotected Birds House sparrows, starlings, common pigeons, chukar partridge, quail other than northern bobwhite, and monk parakeets are unprotected and may be taken at any time.
I would put up a Trap above the kennel like others above have suggested.

If the roof over the kennel doesn't interfere and the chain link openings are small enough the trap door on the kennel is definitely the way to go. It will increase the poop on your dog for a while but should resolve the issue.
