Birds like dog food so you would need to move the dog food to a location where the birds can't get to it. But why would you care if they ate the dog's food. We actually have a pet starling (they talk and imitate incredibly!) and we feed him dog food as recommended by other starling owners and vets, since the dog food is so well balanced in nutrients.

∙ 16y agoI assume that you are leaving the bowl outside :). Might I suggest a visual scare device, such as a TerrorEyes balloon (http://www.bird-x.com/products/terror.html). The added bonus will be that pesky birds like pigeons and starlings will not only stay out of your dogs bowl, but out of your yard entirely. If that's not gonna work for you, go to http://www.bird-x.com for other ideas, or call one of our experts at (800)860-0473. Also, if you're just trying to keep them out of the water dish, try putting a little Grape Juice in there. It won't hurt your dog, but the birds might dislike the taste enough to keep them out.

∙ 13y agoYou cannot stop a cat hunting and eating animals - after all, all cats are meat eaters and actively hunt for their food. Many domestic cats with access to the outdoors will hunt and eat the animals they catch. It is a cat's nature, therefore cannot be trained out of this behaviour.
If you wish your cat to stop eating wild birds, the most effective method is to keep the cat indoors during daylight hours - particularly at dawn and dusk which is when cats are at their most active.
There are also some solutions to cats hunting of birds that are available: cat bibs, birdsbesafe-cat-collars. Use your own judgment about these innovations after you do some research about them. Best is to keep cats indoors, but outdoor cats can also be kept in outdoor enclosures, walked with a harness, or can use bird-protecting devices.
