Capt. Neil, your vaunted discovery of how to keep birds off your boat
is not new at all. I read a similar description in a book written in
1920-something (before you were born) entitled something like
"Sailing". BoatUS even has an article titled "If Bird Brains are so
Tiny, Then Why is it that We Humans Have So Much Trouble Outwitting
Them?" (which says something about someone who would make such a big
issue about keeping birds away) describing a multitude of schemes.

Capt. Neil's brag for the day, "I outwitted a bird!" What's next?
Neil's scheme for outwitting a barnacle?
