How do I keep wild birds out of my run?

Tried that. As soon as they (my problem is sparrows) see a gun they are GONE! Just like flies as soon as you pick up a fly swatter...

Great. So hang up some toy guns and maybe fake crow and owls. Old CDs etc.
Another option... Get a cat LOL!

I have FOUR cats, who are not allowed in the run. Come to think of it... maybe that's why the sparrows hang out in the run is because its cat-free!

Wild birds are smart, I think they would learn to go through the draped door after watching your chickens do it.
