That's funny :-) Do they cause a mismatch of the antenna?

I've never seen any birds sitting on my antenna, somehow ;-) Would be interesting to see what happens when the TX starts while some are sitting on it. The automatic variometer would indicate L- for a short time to find the resonance peak i guess ;-)

Hi All,
 
Just a final on this OT......
 
Have a look at the photo from this evening about 6:15 pm local time, this is more like the number of starlings which regularly perch on my antenna :-

Hi All,
 
I am being bothered by lots of starlings perching on my HF/MF top load capacity hat & messing on everthing that happens to be below in my small garden, ie. the washing & windows etc, which really annoys my wife.
 
Does anyone use any form of bird deterant with any success ?
 
I have heard of model Falcons  perched on the antenna but does it really work ?
 
73, Gary - G4WGT.
