How do I control, not necessarily prevent, birds from coming to my garden pond?

Hi ther! So I’ve posted before re: garden ponds. At first it was murky water, then dead birds, and now… too many birds! I love nature, but the old addage too much of a good thing definitely applies to my pond. I don’t mind birds seeking water, a quick bath, etc. (after all, that’s the point, I know), but I seem to be getting TOO many visitors. Today I cam ehome to an abundance of bird excrement in, on and around the pond. Had to drain it again (gross), clean the stones and water in the stuff on the plants surrounding. Is there any thing to help control the feather friends, or should I just fill in the hole and give up? For health reasons, smell and ultimately just plain appearance, I can’t have another day like today. Thanks for your suggestions!

    Blow up a balloon, tie it to a string. Tack the other end of the string down in the area. The balloon will blow around in the wind, and scare off the birds. You can also try tin foil, in the same way. The sun shining off it will also scare away birds. Regards-Bob.

    An alternative to using your pond no guarantees but better than netting the area how many and which types of bird can cause you to drain.
    The area how many and which types of bird can cause you to drain your pond surely only ducks.
