fix bird shiiit problem on power line?

[Wiseguy]

I have 3 lines above my driveway and everyday my cars get drenched in birdshit (nowhere else to park them)

Any ideas on how to get rid of them?
I've looked at spikes but i'm not sure how to keep them upright.
help!

Get your phone/power moved underground - nowhere for the birds to sit.

 

[Scott No Mates]

Oh! You meant get rid of the birds, not get rid of the power lines.

An air rifle is fun to use and will solve the problem.

I remember as a kid I had .177 air rifle and we cleaned up the area of sparrows and Indian Minors.

A .22 will also be good but will attract too much attention.

I didn't know that you had grown up in Harris Park.

These buggers.......not what you were thinking of lol.

A third world technique is to hang a CD on a piece of thread. The movement for the wind will shine light in weird angles and deter the bird from landing.

Or a cheeky method is to place bird food not too far away from where they usually land but far enough from your car. You might be able to train them to land elsewhere if you have the patience.

Or you could use these guys

That must be the Melbournian way
Sydney siders place it on the neighbour's car

From the internet:
Tape a toy snake to whatever you don't want the birds to poop on.

It would be my luck to have ballsy birds who would see that as target practice.

Ultrasonic bird scarer? Or get a cat? Or cover your car.

Brother had an issue with birds dive bombing his pool and the occasional floater in his skimmer box. Plastic owl from bunnings completely cleared up the problem. Just weigh it down and pop on the roof, cheers nat

If they are the Indian minors you can buy a cage , has a mirror inside the tunnel
opening ,you place a bowl of dog food in front to attract them they then can't
get back out of the opening due to the pronged opening.

There was a small group on the central coast making them and giving them away
years ago to eradicate the pests , I watched these mongrels murder two baby
rosellas by tipping them out of their nest one year , Had a friend with a cage
borrowed and soon had them caught.
