    Angry Unstoppable ****in' birds shitting on my 120cm dish - I needs help !!!

    Few weeks ago, I setted up my newly-bought second-handed Ku-Band 120cm dish for Intelsat 701 and looking so nicely, mounted far upper than my home's roof ( not shown in photo at left ). But until that f*ckheaded birds landed on top of that dish and startin' shitting on it and 'worn' mainly almost all over the wider 120cm dish ! That usually happens during in early morning of daily basis, as I can't stop them and tried to slingshot at 'em. Some had flew away but, still, the bloodist idiot becky things returned and land on it and continues shitting on it. When the shits dried on it and it is rather difficult to remove it by swap clothes and water, and the Methylated Spirits won't help. I am looking for the worthwhile solution how to kick mugger birds' arses outta from my 120cm dish. Well, do you have experience with that problem, and how to prevent them from grippin' their clawes on my dish again ???

    Put barbed wire on the dish's top edge and cable ties on the lnb arm.

    I wonder what would happen if you built a small box frame behind the dish and draped the dish with fruit tree netting.

    They could only land on the frame which is behind the dish, if they tried to land on the netting it would sink and trap them.

    I dont think you would lose much signal with netting over a dish but what a ugly sight.

    Maybe just spray paint you dish in a bird shit color.
    Then it wont stand out and bother you.

    Off the record, get a (cough) air rifle.

    Liquid nails razor blades around the top of the dish.
    I did that to my antenna, it stopped the little buggers from bending my tv antenna.
    Tried nails in the past, but the birds got smart on how to land around them.

    Cable ties along the lnb arms and I have seen a guy drill a few holes evenly spaced along the top edge of the dish. He inserted small bolts about 5cm long and along the top edges of the bolts he looped fishing line. The fishing line prevented the birds landing on the top edge

    Hang some cd coasters of the entire dish. One on either side like earrings and a couple of the lnb arm like your mother inlaws tongue flapping in the wind.

    Seriously though agree with zilla (air rifle).

    Put out a dish full of bread etc for the birds to eat for the next couple of days!
    When they are all there feeding instead of roosting on your sat dish.
    Go and have a shit in there dish and see how they like it!!
