Description

Bird repelling apparatus {Bird repelling apparatus}

The present invention relates to an algae repellent device.

Some birds, such as magpies, have a habit of building nests in high places, so they build their nests in the branches of trees. However, in places where trees are scarce, they may live nesting in the wangeum of telephone poles.

In this way, when birds form nests on telephone poles, there is a problem in that electric leakage accidents occur due to conductive objects such as wires and hangers included in the nest material.

In order to solve this problem, it is common to prevent the access of birds by installing structures such as thorns or models of natural enemies on the poles of telephone poles. However, since the thorns or model structures are fixed, there is a problem in that birds are easily accustomed to them.
