    Get a good slingshot and pop a few of them suckas.  Wont hurt them 
tough birds but will sure scare the crap out of them.  Hey, then you can 
use it as fertilizer:>)  Seriously though a motion sensor might pick up 
those big birds and could be used to turn on a light which might scare 
them away as well as some other critters that might be raiding at the time.
