Bird Control - Some Success

Back in May '06, I posted asking for some ideas around keeping birds
off various parts of the airplane. My tiedown is at the end of a line
of tiedowns that places it next to a large hangar with various small
trees and vegetation surrounding the property that is home to many
birds. While I enjoy low taxiing traffic and a large place to park my
car, I pay for it by having the sh***iest tail on the ramp. Yes, one of
the few instances where I can use the term literally.

The solution turns out to be the simplest and (get ready for this
aviation rarity) the CHEAPEST of them all.

Yup, the same one used on a Christmas tree. I tied one on each side of
the NAV antenna and have been crap-free for three weeks now. It seems
to be keeping them off the fuselage and wings as well.

The credit may go to a poster here but I honestly don't remember.
Though I did see it on a neighbor's aircraft.
