Look in ''craft'' stores.. They have Styrofoam birds. These work well!

RE PAINTED Dove decoys can work well too.

See if your local Dollar Store has any mini ravens left over from Halloween.

Around Halloween the dollar store had some mini-crows that stand just about starling high.  I bought some, painted their beaks yellow, their feet orange, and used a silver Sharpie to cover it with spots.  They look pretty good, but I haven't seen a starling in the area since I bought them.  Figures.  Anyhow, here is the link to the post I made after I finished them.
