Alternatively you might do what an Oregon farmer friend of mine did about Canada geese.
Every year they would invade his grain field, eating his hard-won money, making a mess, knocking down the stalks of wheat and the other grains. It infuriated him.
Until one day when he realized that they were really kind of cool and on a gentle slope that was visible from the house. he planted 'the geese's field'. Because it suited their needs even better (closer to a small pond) the geese switched to it and my friend and his wife got a lot of enjoyment for a lot of years out of watching the birds feed.
