PIGEON SCARECROW
I have an area on my roof where a large flock of pigeons
like to roost. Their nesting materials and droppings really make a mess, which often
clogs my roof gutters. Perhaps one way to scare them away is with a device mounted
on the roof near their favorite roosting spot. The device could contain an infrared
motion detector. When it detected their motion, a spring loaded cover would suddenly
pop up, like a jack in the box. The thing could be equipped with a small solar panel,
which could charge up either a super capacitor or a long life battery. After each
pop up activation, a motor would pull the cover down into the body of the box, making the
system ready for another cycle. I think the device could be camouflaged to look like
a standard roof vent. |
