Economical Plastic Bird Spikes Won't Allow Birds to Perch or Roost on Your Building

1888PressRelease - Plastic bird spikes keep pest birds like pigeons, gulls and crows from landing and roosting on your building

One of the most effective and humane bird deterrents ever devised is currently available in a variety of sizes and colors. More economical than steel spikes, polycarbonate bird spikes are the anti-perching, anti-roosting bird deterrent that won't allow larger birds to land on or near them. The spikes are blunted at the tips so they won't harm birds, curious pets or installers, and the spikes have been approved by a number of humane groups-including the U.S. Humane Society.

Perching birds have long presented a problem for property owners who must deal with bird droppings and debris. If allowed to gather, bird droppings can deface and often permanently mar surfaces. The acid in bird droppings can eat into paint, fabric, plastic, metal and even stonework. Bird droppings can also carry any of 60 known diseases, including salmonella. Bird nesting debris has been known to ignite electrical fires, block vents, and prevent AC units from functioning properly.

Polycarbonate bird spikes offer property owners an effective means of bird control. They are an ideal bird deterrent for use on ledges, rooflines, parapet walls, eaves, I-beams, windowsills, signs, light posts, awnings and canopies. The spiked strips come in two-foot sections and three different widths-3-, 5- and 7-inch-to match the surface being treated. The base of the spiked strip is just 1.5 inches wide, which allows for easy installation on narrow surfaces. A built-in glue tough and pre-drilled mounting holes allow for easy installation using commercially available glues, screws or tie downs. Another key feature of these durable bird spikes is their flexible base, which allows the spiked strip to "follow" curved surfaces, such as lampposts and signage. The spikes are also available in a

    In the film of “The Birds the main characters consisted of Melanie Davis, Mitch Brenner, Annie Hayworth, Cathy Brenner, and Lydia Brenner. The film took place in the 1960s in two parts of California. The way the birds first attacked in the film was similar to the way they first attacked in the short story, in the film a sea gull swooped down and scratched Melanie Davis’ head. The main characters were very concerned with the birds behavior after the first attack and they took all of the signs and warnings seriously. They protected their homes by hanging wooden planks on their doors and windows. In the film police officers did not do anything to stop the attacks, they thought everything was normal. At the end of the film, the main characters manage to escape their home and head back to San Francisco while the…

    Alfred Hitchcock’s motion picture Psycho, released in 1960, contains peculiar placement of predatory birds and other fowls with corresponding lines about birds from Norman Bates, the primary antagonist. The most obvious reference to birds takes place in the parlor of the Bates Motel where Marion shares her last meal with Norman. As Norman invites Marion into the parlor, he sets the food tray on the coffee table and turns on the lamp. Immediately, Marion’s eyes point the camera to two birds mounted on the walls: an owl with full spread wings in the corner and a black raven hovering over the couch. Marion enters the room and takes her place on the couch under the raven while Norman sits across the intimidating glare of the owl and under another…

    Clipping a bird's wings is something almost everyday bird’s goes through when sold to someone. Once a bird's wings are clipped the bird can still fly but not long distance or stay in the air for long. A bird with clipped wings will not be able to escape a dangerous situation, any form of defense is taken away, and they will lose balance. The main reason people clip a birds wings is so it doesn’t fly away but that you can train a bird to stay on your property or watch over the bird while outside. We also need to remember that flight is a natural form of existence for these animals. Clipping their wings would be like cutting off part of someone's leg and just acting likes it’s okay. In Europe clipping a bird's wings is illegal even if the bird is a house pet. It's seen as a form of animal cruelty and they also believe it makes the bird depressed and aggressive. This problem can be solved though! We can solve this problem by informing more and more people around…

    Colourful language was used to support her argument that pigeons are a health risk. She reinforced that the “large amount of pigeon droppings are clogging gutters and rainwater pipes” and that pedestrians are stumbling and slithering across the footpaths because of the pigeon mess”. This will create an image in the readers and also create a sense of fear as citizens will associate pigeons with danger because of slipping on their droppings and also will associate them with more household maintenance as their home gutters will need to be cleaned more often.…

    Also, in Los Angeles, there are various water fowl within the Los Angeles River. Animals migrate from one place to another, so water fowls in Los Angeles have high chance to be affected by marine debris in North Hawaiian Islands. Those birds need to cultivate their children, but they don’t have hands to get rid of plastic in their food; accordingly, their next generations survive with plastic, so they get used to plastic debris. Moreover, the unbelievable high percentage shows that it’s been a long time that those birds are suffering from people’s inappropriate behavior. Ironically, plastic companions those birds in their whole lives, even when they pass away. Other than seabirds, sea turtles also get affected by marine debris because they eat plastic bags. The reason they eat plastic bags is the small piece of plastic looks like a jellyfish, which is their favorite food. After sea turtles realize that their food in abnormal, they forage food cautiously. They become skeptical of their food, so they prefer not to eat rather than eat something wrong. Sadly, some of them die because of hunger, and this may cause to become an endangered species over…

    The Bald Eagle Community

    While driving On Rte10 through the town of Hamden what seems to be an ordinary ride can become a scenic view of our nation's bird. On a tall skinny Birch tree over 40 ft in the air is lives a bald eagle in its natural habitat. In this nest lives a male adult and female adult with an Eaglet. The nest is located in a farming open field along a river bank. This field and river provides the eagles with a source of food. The eagles mostly eat fish, the adult eagle will swoop down to the water and grab a fish all in one motion flying the meal back to the nest to feed its family. The field is posted to prevent people from ruining the habitat, since the natural reproduction of this eagle is very important to its recovery from being endangered. I was able to view this community form the road and was able to watch the nest and occasionally watch the adult eagle fly away most likely looking for food to feed his family. The nest form my view was huge at least 3 feet in diameter perched up about 40 ft high on a birch tree. The surrounding area of the nest was clear of any branches or trees creating a clear access way for the birds to land. Below the nest was a large open field on the bank of an active river.…

    Texas Horned Lizard Essay

    • 375 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Along with being found in the same habitat the Bobwhite Quail and Texas Horned lizard are both found at the bottom of the food chain. These two animals are prey items for a very wide array of animals. Bobwhite nests are commonly predated upon and this is why the nesting cover aspect of the habitat management is so important. Habitat managers are now even able to determine what animals are predating Bobwhite nests by how the eggs are broken and/or arranged after being eaten (Hernandez et al 1997). A well known avian predator, the Roadrunner (Geococcyx) is known to eat just about anything including Texas Horned Lizards and Bobwhite Quail eggs making it an arch enemy of many ranchers (Sherbrooke 1990). One of the most brutal predators these animals face is the Shrike (Laniidae) commonly called the “Butcher Bird”. This is because it impales its prey onto barbwire, cactus,…

    Prior to the trials at the set heights, there seemed to be multiple structural designs that would suffice as an egg protecting or slowing agent. However, with a little bit of thought regarding the materials provided, one could deduce that a structure that would slow the time of impact between the egg/structure and the ground would be the most successful from the three different drop heights of two, three, and five meters. One design that would generate success would…

    In the essay, "The Bothersome Beauty of Pigeons," Bruce Ballenger initially compares the street vendors in one of Florence's piazzas to the urban pigeons we are so familiar with. He elogently describes the vendors as marvelous spectacles who add culture and life to urban areas. While they are considered a neusance to a lot of people, they also hold a certain beauty. They are much like the pigeons, and there seems to be a war against both the illegal street vendors and the city pigeon. It is a war where there are no hearts involved. The police almost turn a blind eye toward the illegal act of vending without a liscense, much like the average person tolerates the pigeon. I think that Ballenger's main idea for his essay is exploring the paradoxical feelings that we can get from things that are bothersome yet beautiful, specifically the pigeon. Ballenger might have originally asked himself, Why, if pigeons are such a neusance, are people still so facinated and enchanted by the creatures?…

    The flock suddenly appears discombobulated as they frantically crash into statues, pedestrians, and buildings throughout the city. The passerbys enter into a full fledged panic as the plummeting pigeons break through various windshields and glass windows. This occurrence however, would prove to be the first physics failure in the film considering the average pigeon found in urban areas weigh in at only 13 oz fully grown. At their relatively small size pigeons flying in their average cruising range, between twenty and thirty miles per hour, would be unable to shatter glass, especially safety glass used to make cars. Although birds attempting to fly into a glass surface is not an uncommon phenomenon, the intensity of the situation portrayed in The Core is beyond…

    The Farallon Islands aviary wildlife is under attack and something needs to be done about it. The Farallon Islands are a chain of islands about 28 miles west off the coast of San Francisco. They are used by by hundreds of seabirds for feeding, nesting, and breeding. In fact these islands have a greater variety of bird species than almost any other place in the world. The problem is that mice have overrun the island eating the bird eggs and killing the young birds. Some areas are so densely populated with mice that the biologists on the island say that sometimes the ground seems to move (Frimrite, Peter 1). There are three suggested solutions to the problem so far. One solution would be to do nothing. Another would be to use a less potent poison such as Diphacinone but distribute it often and for a long period of time. The final option would be to use an extremely potent poison such as Brodifacoum and distribute it for a shorter period of time and less often. In this paper we will look at the second option of using a less potent poison and try and determine whether this would be the best approach.…
