This. Repeat as necessary.

This is a problem (especially early in the day) at the Ernest Coe Visitor's Center at Everglades NP. According to rangers there, any bait will do.

First, find out who has thrown a dead chicken onto your roof.

Try bird spikes or electric dog fence or...A blow gun will work to shoot them with and not damage any neighbors unit. It is illegal to kill them but you can hit them with a blunt dart. Chasing them away is not illegal from what I can find.

You can buy a blow gun at a sporting goods store or make one with conduit pipe. Make darts with paper cones glued around a piece of clothes hanger wire. Good for 20 yards or so, depending on your lungs.

Be careful what you do. Buzzards a federally protected and harrassing them can get you in a whole heap of trouble.

Not to spoil the fun, but how about some plastic grocery, or garbage bags tied to the AC or antenna, that will blow in the breeze, and frighten them off.

(I have no clue. I live in the country and when black birds come around, I get my shot gun out and start blasting in the air. Works every time. They scramble. But I don't think the campground would appreciate you firing a shot gun ... Maybe the dead chicken would be better!)

HAHAHAHA!!!! best post of the week!!!

That's like the old saying about bears. I don't have to be fastest, I just have to be able to trip my buddy!

Go to the grocery store, get a whole chicken. Take the chicken and toss it up on top of your neighbor's camper. The vultues will go next door and leave your camper alone!
