Solar powered bird deterrent

Here's another product that might be worthy of replicating for the back yard deer deterrent experimenter.

It's called a solar powered bird repeller and was designed for boats. Expect to pay just under 100 bucks once you factor in shipping. I like the fact that it comes with a AA battery back up for extended operations during dark stretches although I doubt if it would have enough juice to spin all through the night.

The design would be easy enough to copy with some sort of slow moving motor. You could delete the solar cell if you can manage to run some electricty that far.


The zone of protection would be limited unless maybe you mounted a whistle on one of the ends or had it rub something in a way that created unnatural noise.
