Bird Sh1t

[daverebbettes]

Hi all, I am berthed at Bucklers Hard, on the Beaulieu. several times a year the area is colonised but what seems a million starlings. They eat the local blueberry, sit in the rigging and you can guess the rest. It is relentless and once a year the marina office get the local falconer info a day but it has little effect. Any suggestions as to what is a really effective bird scarer to have on a sailing boat. shiny things and spinny things don't work.

Your lucky if you only get starliings,in our area we get swifts and seagulls as well at different times of the year.

I'm sure I read on one of the forums I follow of an audible bird repellent that emitted either the sound of a hawk or a bird in distress and that was supposed to be effective.

Maybe something along these lines:

Marine - Bird Control Australia

Pestrol Bird Chaser - Pestrol Australia

We used to get this in Gosport. Not much you can do tbh.
