Peter, I have NO practical advice for your friend,
but might offer an account of a similar situation near Annapolis.
The family built a house near a very large, very old tree west
of town which drew in many vultures every evening.
They tried all sorts of "remedies," to little avail,
but a local newspaper story generated dozens of inventive
"solutions."

I remember only one letter, from a person who pointed out
that vultures had been know to roost there for over a century,
i.e. that it was the humans who were the intruders, who had,
in effect, invaded the vultures' home.
