vineyard bird netting: Bird Spikes

Some animals are more lovable than others. Pandas certainly have an edge over rats, for example. Birds are especially lovable, particularly those with beautiful songs to sing. However, not everyone is as keen on birds as the rest of us. Poultry farmers need to keep vigil against any bird that may introduce bird flu to their premises. Airports must also keep birds at bay in case they interfere with aircraft. And site managers are very aware of the damage that bird droppings can do to their buildings.Poultry Farms
Those rearing poultry are on worldwide alert at the moment. Avian influenza - bird flu - has already spread great distances carried by infected birds landing amongst flocks. The virus is transmitted from the birds' saliva, faeces and nasal secretions. Surfaces and water can be infected just through contact. Fowl that are kept outside are particularly vulnerable. Whereas other farm livestock tend to be kept in fields, poultry is often kept near to other buildings. This allows visiting birds a landing point near to the poultry and therefore time to settle before landing amongst it. By fitting bird spikes to the roofs and guttering of these buildings the birds will quickly move on to another site. Bird spikes may not deter all varieties of bird and other precautions such as random noise generators and bird netting will also be required.Buildings
Bird droppings can dry and turn to powder. This powder could find itself in the atmosphere of building grounds and even into the building itself, causing a health hazard. Apart from the possibility of avian flu transmission, it is known that bird excrement could cause various illnesses including cryptococcal meningitis. This is an inflammation of the brain and the spinal cord and can be fatal in some cases. Bird droppings may also find their way into guttering. Some modern buildings will recycle rain water for use in fountains, irrigation and even in some cleaning operations. Inadvertent contact with this water could lead to disease. Bird droppings can also cause corrosion damage to buildings. The seriousness of this corrosion will depend on the material the building is made from, its age and the extent of bird activity. Damage to historical buildings is of particular concern, not just to the site management and owner, but to the wider public who may claim an interest in its welfare. Once again, as part of a comprehensive program to minimise bird activity, bird spikes will need to be placed on roofs, in guttering and along some walls and even railings and signage.Airports
Birds can be a serious hazard around airports. A bird sucked into a jet engine can cause it to shut down and may cause dangerous shards of metal to go flying in all directions. An airplane that is taking off or landing is particularly vulnerable. Airports go to great lengths to minimise the amount of birds in the area. For example, you will not find fruit trees or bushes in the vicinity of an airport. Buildings within the grounds of the airport will be landing points for birds. As part of wider control measures to minimise avian activity, bird spikes will be found on many roofs of buildings within the airport grounds as well as on walls, railings and signage.It is all very well keeping birds away from our farms, buildings and airports, but they do need to go somewhere. It is important that there are sufficient trees and other suitable places for birds to go. This doesn't help pigeons, though. They would not go in trees. A lack of landing spots for pigeons doesn't bother most people as they are seen as a pest that needs to be discouraged. Birds are fine, especially when they are heard and not seen! We should treasure them for certain. As long, that is, as they are not making us ill, damaging our buildings or crashing our airplanes! [EXTRACT] Some animals are more friendly than others. Pandas certainly have an advantage over rats, for example. Birds are especially helpful, especially those with beautiful songs to sing. However, not everyone is so interested in birds like the rest of us. Poultry farmers need to maintain vigilance against any bird that bird flu can enter on the premises. The airports also need to keep birds at bay if they interfere with the plane. And site managers are very aware of the damage that bird droppings can be done to their farms buildings.Poultry Breeding birds are on alert around the world at this time. Avian influenza - bird flu - has already spread transported long distances by infected birds landing from herds. The virus is transmitted by bird saliva, feces and nasal secretions. And water surfaces can be infected by contact only. Birds that are kept outside are especially vulnerable. While other farm animals tend to be kept in the fields, poultry are often kept close to other buildings. This lets you see birds landing point near poultry and therefore, time to settle before landing among them. For the beaks suited to roofs and gutters of the buildings of the birds quickly moved to another site. The bird spikes can not deter all varieties of birds and other precautions such as random noise generators and network also required.Buildings bird Bird droppings can be dried into a powder. This powder can be found in the atmosphere of the reasons for construction and even in the building, causing a health hazard. Apart from the possibility of transmission of avian flu, we know that bird droppings can cause various diseases such as cryptococcal meningitis. This is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord and can be fatal in some cases. Bird droppings can also find their way into the gutters. Some modern buildings is recycled rainwater for use in fountains, irrigation and even in some cleaning operations. Accidental contact with water could lead to disease. Bird droppings can also cause corrosion damage of buildings. The severity of this corrosion depends on the material is made of the building, its age and activity level of the birds. Damage to historic buildings is of particular interest, not only for site administration and the owner, but to the general public who may claim an interest in their welfare. Again, as part of a comprehensive program to minimize the activity of birds, bird spikes have to be placed on roofs, in gutters and along some of the walls and even handrails and signage.Airports Birds can be a serious hazard at airports. A bird sucked into a jet engine can cause it to close and may cause dangerous pieces of metal go flying in all directions. A plane is taking off or landing is particularly vulnerable. Airports do everything possible to minimize the number of birds in the area. For example, you will not find fruit trees or bushes in the vicinity of an airport. Buildings on the grounds of the airport will be landing points for birds. As part of the broader control measures to minimize bird activity, bird spikes are found in many roofs of the buildings within the airport grounds, as well as walls, fences and signage.It is well to keep birds outside our property, buildings and airports, but you need to go somewhere. It is important that there are enough trees and other suitable places for birds to go. This does not help the pigeons, however. Do not go in the trees. The lack of landing sites for pigeons does not bother most people, as they are seen as a pest that should be discouraged. Birds are very good, especially when they are heard and not seen! We treasure for some. Time, that is, since we are not doing badly, damaging buildings or crashing our planes!
