Purple shitting bastids! If we all left our radar pernamently on in the marina (hooked up to shore power of course) would that cure them?

Just feed 'em bit of bread or fish with an Alkaseltzer tab inside. Supposedly works a treat, and should start to reduce the numbers and apparently provide some interesting viewing as well. I haven't tried it myself tho./forums/images/icons/blush.gif

With the normal yacht radar, the amount of transmitted power is unlikely to do any real harm to the birds. This is because the set is not very powerful, and it is not popinting at the bird continuously. However, if you had a aegis radar, and some means of tracking the bird, you could fry it very nicely.

As long as the bird isn't above your boat when the alkaseltzer kicks in. That could make a mess worse than the original problem. More colourful though.

I thought you were full up. Anyway, can't make it that weekend.
Try TCM for purple s**t removal. He's pretty expert on that sort of stuff. On second thoughts, don't. He'll probably recommend scrubbing deck with petrol or hydrochloric acid.

Where's Milton based and how much does he charge? Or do you mean that I recite poetry to the frying garish excrement machines, suppose I could always get a CD of Paradise Lost and just play that continuously?

Jim - it's the starlings that are the problem at Hythe, rather than the gulls. I think that starlings are officially pests, and can be taken out by any means necessary. It's no good clapping your hands at them, 'cos they think your applauding, and do it all the more!!
Why not wire up the rigging to the shorepower and give them a dose of 240 volts?
That should do the trick!!

Whats that chemical that explodes when it gets wet? Wrap some in some bread and then throw it to the gulls. When mixed with their saliva it goes bang.
Do this once you've got quite a lot of them flying around all taking bread and when one of them explodes they all think - Phoarr - better lay off the sandwiches and then they all fly away.

Port Solent got a falconer in on a regular basis last season - that seemed to do some good. If everybody got rid of their sailboats and bought a motor cruiser the problem would disappear at a stroke.

No, no.
Milton is a showjumper, ridden by John Whittaker. Only use it to get rid of purple pigeon poo if you prefer half a hundreweight of horseshit.

A showjumper is a horse. Ask your daughters, or a salami manufacturer, for details.
