Ag or farm suppliers also carry rolls of mylar ribbon, very cheap. It's silver reflective on one side and usually red on the other. Like the CD idea recently posted, it flops in the wind and reflects sunlight. It's so effective that the reflections can be seen from quite a distance (1/2 mile) and makes the area look very "busy". It's used quite a bit out this way by rice farmers to keep the birds under control. I hate Starlings, they make a mess under my tower during the fall. I've got every plant known to mankind sprouting from the joints in my concrete parking lot. I use the ribbon sometimes myself.
