Re: LF: Slightly OT - Birds (the feathered kind)

I have 2 steel bars which stick out from my side wall below the eaves, they used to hold overhead power feed wires.

Birds would roost on them and the conservatory roof below got plastered. I bought a plastic Green Woodpecker from a garden center mounted him on a bent thin springy steel strip like a U on its side, it bobs in the wind. No bird has ever roosted on either bar since.

Note, it must be a Peruvian Green Man Eating Woodpecker, not an ex.

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 ?
