readiescards Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Got a camera inside my porch but the swallows have taken to sitting on it and therefore I've bird muck all down the wall and on the post box below. Easy problem to sort that I thought, I'll stick some nails on it. The birds sit and sh*t on the nails ? any other ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Put a steeply sloped/near vertical cover over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Spikes are too short and too thick - need to be flexible but sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 These look to be pretty cheap and will probably do the job if fixed with some cable ties: https://www.birdspikesonline.co.uk/Bird-Spikes/Defender8-Bird-Spikes-Steel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would have thought the solution was obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimpsy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 https://www.birdfood.co.uk/swallow-nest-box.html Why not fit a nest box on the wall, then they should leave the camera alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
