How do you keep the birds out of the dogs' water & food bowls?

[hespencer]

I have nothing against birds - kinda like them actually - but they are regular users of my dogs outdoor water bowls and even help themselves to the dog food. I'm concerned (for health reasons) because they soil the dogs' water. :hmmmm:Any ideas for keeping the birds out without discouraging the dogs?

hey
u hv not mentioned abt the types of birds. how we give advice to save birds.
any way, if possible , u give more space where birds can live without fear of the dogs and other matter. this place should be prevented by tall walls. in definite time, u should give the food. after long time they feel comfortable area.

You should tell us what kind of bird that is. Is they crow or pigeon or others. Treatment will depends on the type of birds. So please give us more details about this.

The main culprits are the Grackels, although others may join in to a lesser extent.
