Hey guys,
I have a bird grain + water feeder combo which hangs from the roof. I live on the seventh floor, and pigeons are the only pests I encounter. They weigh significantly more than sparrows/parrots and cause the feeder to swing violently causing the water to empty out in a few minutes.
I was thinking of creating a weight or movement based switch to cover the feeder when pigeons try to sit on. I have a physics degree but after being in the IT business for couple of decades, I have no clue where to start
If you guys could point me to something similar or any other advice, I would be grateful.
Thanks
