[C320-list] Darn Birds...

Regarding Birds.
If your problem is little sparrow sized birds, look into the ends of your
boom.  You may find a nest in there.  Clean out the nest, block the ends
with cloth and the birds will go away.  At least they did for us.  
If they are seagulls, they may be attracted by any sort of edible or
decomposing matter on the deck, cockpit, or in the lockers.  Clean that up
and they may not stick around.
      
Best Luck, SteveG

Well, the birds have found my boat and called it home. I've since moved to
another mooring and got it pretty much cleaned up but am now seriously
considering how to prevent this from happening again. I'm thinking bird
spikes on the spreaders are the best solution and found serveral on the web
even had someone donate a box of industrial stainless steel ones but I'm
afraid those would shred my sail. What have the members of this site used
and would reccomend?
   
  Thanks
