A vulture typically poses little to no problems in the yard but if its presence bothers you its droppings are a mess or it s causing damage to your roof or another structure scaring it away is. Install steel spike strips on areas of your roof where these birds perch and roost. If the birds believe the dead vulture is real they will assume the area is unsafe and stay away.

Stretch a piece of wire or fishing line tightly across the roof 6 to 8 inches above the area where the birds perch.
