Magpies on my Antenna
I have recently painted my Timber house and while I had the Scaffolding, repositioned my TV Antenna and it now lies parallel to the roof gable. As the Magpies perch there they now spoil my roofline with their spoils.. I did have the foresight to tie fishing line in a criss cross pattern between the cross bars of the antenna but this seems to be no deterrent.. HELP!

Must be one hell of a TV antenna! I figure 18 Magpies at about 90 kg each is close enough to two tonne! As for them crapping on your roof, well that's Collingwood for you! (Getting their own back I guess - they gor crapped on!)

When I had my 2 way satellite installed the installer got several heavy gauge cable ties and cut them off to a sharp point and fixed them to the cable that was sitting up in the air with the points sitting upwards.
I asked him what they were for and he said to keep the birds off. So I promptly got some off him and fixed them to the TV antenna and it did the trick.

Magpies on my antenna
So, your antenna receives black and white OK but how's the colour?
Cheers
