Birds on the swim platform!

pkadventures · 08-16-2010, 12:11 PM

Does anyone have an effective solution for reducing the population of birds that like to sit on our swim float? We've seen a swim float with a fake owl perched on it and one with some kind of a spinning device (looks like a mini wind measuring instrument) in the center. Do these work?

It's nice to have bird watching so accessible, but the mess they leave behind...not so nice!

Thanks!

I too enjoy watching birds but I am British.

Just kidding.Put out a sign that lets them know they can play here put to pick up after themselves."No Bird Fouling" should also work.

FLL is rubbing off on me.

There are wind aided whirly bird devices that are prevelent on moored boats on the ocean that I've seen limited success with.

Hey FLL needs a job.
