Anybody make a nest-proof outdoor speaker ?
I am sure someone out there has some solutions that look good. I do not want to use any wire baskets.

The stainless spikes are the worst. They probably turn out to be messier. In NY, there are lots of birds impailed on them. Never heard of that transparent gel. Seems interesting. Check google to see if the majority of people have had success with it.



Thank you,

I Have glued fake snakes on ours. Found some really good coiled up ones. So far so good. I used some cheap looking ones before and the birds outsmarted me.

How about occasionally playing some Barry Manilow or Tony Orlando....I'm sure that would keep them away.

I'm not so sure. Their stuff is for the birds.

Me: Do you carry those spike strips?

Home Depot: no, we don't. They're cruel.

Me: Oh, okay. I guess I'll use poison.

LOL

See, now here in the deep South this is nothing more than target practice with an automatic target resetter - like the pinsetter in bowling.

You could try something like this

Try the Scarecrow-650's from Yamaha....

Awesome! I've got to get some of those spikes now.


Want there a case in nyc where some top news broadcaster lived in a building that had a problem with birds, and she was one of the biggest complainers about the birds? So the building installed spikes and it turned out the bird was some endangered species? I remember hearing about it on the radio.

A couple days ago, I was reading this thread with great interest because we have a pigeon problem over the back door of our store. For the past few months the birds have been sitting ontop of a light fixture, old alarm box, & our air conditioner outside the back door. No nest but lots of bird doo all over the wall, door, & approach to back door. We clean it & with in hours there's more. About 5 years ago, my father (god rest his soul) put a bunch of finishing nails in some pieces of wood to create spikes and set them where the birds sit. It has kept them away until this spring. Now the new group of dam birds sit ontop of the nails!
After reading the posts in this thread, I go to work & there is a guy power washing the bakery a few doors down. I flip the guy $10 & have him power wash our bird doo. Not wanting to waste my $10, I beat feat to Target to either buy the "Bird Proof" @ ab $17 or the spikes for ab $40. I arrive at Target and find these products not available at stores, only on line.
On the way back to my store I stopped at the local Grainger to pick up the drill kit we ordered & asked if they carry these products. Answer: yes - not in stock, must order in - price = Jug of sticky stuff @$119 & spikes @ $400!

Looks like I need to buy on line. Then power wash. Bird doo is already back!
