Any ideas for keeping birds from nesting in a satellite dish? One just electrocuted itself and knocked out our internet.

Get an owl or hawk decoy and put it on or very close to the dish.

I have an owl decoy out by my pool to keep the ducks out. It works !

I have one on my porch roof to keep the stinking pigeons away. They like to hang their butts over the roof edge and poop on my porch floor.

I thought about that. Our local Walmart had one to keep them from nesting under the awning. It was covered in sparrow poo. Lol!!
It's worth a shot. They try to build every year!

Suicidal bird?! I agree with Hippy, a visual decoy like a hawk or owl....also, an aluminium pie pan hung on some string will blow with the wind and cause too much commotion for birds to nest.
