Ahoy!
Has anyone had experience with or know someone who has experience with Bye Bye Birdie or similar magnetic bird deterrents?

That seems a bit pricey, but I haven’t used them.

I use a Gull Sweep. Use the spare halyard and position it a foot or two over the boom when we leave the boat. Works well along with the zip ties pointing straight up along the spreaders.

Thanks I've not heard of this before. The issue is they sit on the TV antenna saucer and destroy everything below.....If mounted on the TV antenna would it interfere with the other instruments up top? Teri
