Bloody birds

[facthunter]

That's their Job. It's a fowl task.  They get taken for a ride  often.  The foxes silence the Ones my Neighbour keeps purchasing. Thank Dog,. Nev

Purchasing?

You should never need to buy a rooster, anyone who has chooks is happy to give excess ones away.

Anyhow its Foxes 3, Roosters NIL.' Nev

you could try ? .................. the LED lights that go on push bikes

 

cheap as chips - got 4 for $ 15 from ebay - red - probably get white (if that's not being racist) - charge from a USB

 

I reckon ? they would last a day or 2 without charge

 

good pulse of light at night

 

 

[facthunter]

Is that Posted in the correct topic? Nev

[johnm]

.......... I thought so ??

 

you can carry a pushbike in a plane ................ BUT ........... these push bike lights - when turned on (a switch) - emit a pulse of light that could / might / maybe detract nesting birds - at night

It could help . Might annoy them for a while.

Bird distress calls, bird predator calls, and flashing lights all combine in this device to keep pest birds unnerved, and they'll move on to another spot more to their liking.

Did you try the flashing party lights from Amazon that I mentioned earlier. Red, green, white flashes. Works in our hangar.

No I haven't yet.

Nothing will work for Long . The birds get used to it Nev

[onetrack]

They don't get used to erratically-timed noises and lights. Another stunt is applying sticky gels where birds perch. Most birds are perching birds (passerines), and their feet are three-toed, designed specifically to hold onto branches and roosting spots. They hate roosting or perching spots that have surfaces that make the perching uncomfortable, unpleasant or unstable. The sticky gel is very unpleasant to them.

 

Another trick is spikes on roosting spots. You can buy dirt cheap long narrow sheets of plastic spikes from Temu or AliExpress. They have long sharp spikes on them, and they are very effective as deterrents for many animals. We use them to stop cats and possums climbing into our roof spaces. They would be effective bird deterrents, cable-tied to rafters and beams inside a shed, where birds like to roost.

With grapes you HAVE to cover them with nets once the Grapes start to ripen. Gas guns etc just tell them "Dinner's over here". Nev

The spikes seem to be quite effective. You see them on a lot of public structures, signs and street lights but some sheds have dozens of areas that would need to be covered particularly if there are roof trusses. It might be easier to seal the entry and exit areas.

Back to "Hotfoot" on all potential roosting sites.😈

Trouble is the hangar is a huge RAAF construction. The roof trusses would be well over 20 ft off the ground

That's a problem that can be overcome with a ladder or better still a "cherry picker". The convenience of the hot foot type product is that it doesn't require fixing like spikes and should be relativly easy to apply/use. Be sure to take a scrapper & stiff brush up with you to remove accumulated droppings & dust.

 

We used hot foot at work  - we were having issues with pigeons & miner birds in covered walkways. From unreliable memory one treatment lasted many years.😈

Is it the old WW2 hangar at Bairnsdale? 2 x usb battery packs each with a party light pointing across the doorway might help?
