Birdwire®

A spring-tensioned post and wire system designed to create an unstable landing area that discourages pest birds from landing. Birdwire is a bird control solution that is widely used throughout the us because it is very low-profile and has minimal visual impact. It carries GSA approval for historic buildings.
