The Traditional Ways

• 1). Super glue a magnet to the back of your wreath, and then hang it on your door. This disrupts the bird's means of sensing direction.
  
  
• 2). Instead of the traditional red velvet bow, tie a metallic or bright colored bow on the front of your wreath. Birds are afraid of anything that resembles a predator. The disruption of nature "causes the bird to be nervous," and it will steer clear.
  
  
• 3). Hang the wreath on a tree instead of a door, and hang streamers from the branches of the tree. The slight whisper of wind scares away even the bravest of birds. Your local variety store should sell holiday-themed streamers, should you want to keep up the spirit.
  
  

Non-Traditional Ways

• 1). Non-toxic bird repellent is available at your local hardware store. Buy a can, and spray one to three shots directly on the wreath, and the door surrounding it.
  
  
• 2). Using old compact disks, build a shadow around your wreath. Take the compact disk and duct tape it to your door, before hanging the wreath. Do this in three spots, and hang the wreath so that only a slight amount (approximately one-tenth) of the grey reflection from the disk can be seen.
  
  
• 3). If you aren't one to mind how things look up close, enclose bird netting around your wreath before hanging. Stealth Net can be cut to fit its exact size.
