What about a statue of a bird of prey or a cardboard cut out of one to put on your balcony?

which amongst other things suggests a 'scare-eye balloon':
Scare-eye balloons, 18 to 24 inches in diameter and with a large eye to imitate a predator, are effective for flocking birds such as starlings, blackbirds and cedar waxwings. To make the balloons scarier, dangle long strips of silver and red reflective ribbon from them. Four or five balloons per acre are usually enough, but you should move them around frequently.
Good luck

maximum homestead progression shops sell a black netting product it somewhat is used to guard gardens and trees from birds. it is so effective that it is not consumer-friendly to be sure, so it would not detract from the vegetation. you ought to in all probability draw close some out of your balcony roof. i've got seen some eating places string fishing line close at the same time to deter sea gulls. that would additionally paintings. or you are able to attempt a type of huge plastic owls that are meant to scare birds. good success!

My grandmother used to save the lids to cans after she opened them. She would then poke a hole in the and hang them in her fig tree to keep the birds from eating her figs. Maybe this will help you...hang some lids on your balcony. The wind catches them and keeps them moving and they are scared of the shine also.

Many bigger hardware stores sell these strips that look like giant pipe cleaners (the things used for kid's arts & crafts projects & cleaning smoker's pipes)) that can be put on ledges, railings, etc. The birds can't grip the edge & so do not land there.

They sell spikes that you can put on your railing that are white and plastic. They're not harmful, they just discourage birds from landing and or making a nest. I work for a retail company and thats what we use in our letters. Also when I was in school, my school used the same things.

A realistic rubber snake or an owl should do the trick.
