Out here we just ask politely, and the birds **** on powerboats. :-)


Must be left-wing birds.

Will they work if there's no wind?

Won't know until next spring, I believe they've already migrated south for
the winter.

Since I put these on, they don't appear to have come

back. Nothing
required
to hang them, just flex and slip over the lifelines.

Not only do they
move
in the breeze, they also slide on the lifelines in a

breeze and help keep
the spider webs at bay.

Don't care how they look. About a month or so ago, the

powerboat next to
me vacated, I didn't see the boat for several days, when

I got back to it
there was bird**** all over the starboard side, where

the vacant slip was.
Swallow magnet. Had to do something, saw all kinds of

elaborate set ups
with cd's, figured there had to be an easier way to get

them on the
lifelines. And it does appear to be working, acid test

will be next spring
when all of them pesky critters are mating. The beauty

is that it only
takes a minute to hang/remove them, and all you need are

the cd's.
