I did that and it worked for a while. The ospreys eventually figured out how to break it ☹ Did I mention all ospreys must die a long and painful death? In case I forgot, I think they need to be tied up and watch me make an omelet out of osprey eggs before being staked out in the desert next to an ant hill and covered with honey. Not really – but damn if those things cannot make a HUGE mess and they are very creative at getting around obstacles. The boat one mooring over had a nice new wind instruments for about 3 days before a big fat osprey landed on them and broke the mount right off.

At the masthead my burger on a pig stick keeps the "rats" away. Others in my harbor use the nylon spikes. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Nov 30, 2014, at 21:33, Chuck S via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Saw a suggestion in one of my books for birds but never tried it: It said to rig a fishing line about 2" higher than the spreader from mast to the shroud, and rig a line at mast top from windspeed sensor mast to windex mast, 2" above the mast top. Birds either trip on the line or avoid it.

I saw someone putting them up and it looked like they had that 3M super industrial tape on them.
