The tie wraps are a good idea...they most likely won't last a terribly long time in the Florida sun, but better than nothing. I will try them on my recv loop...it has been a popular perch for osprey who leave a huge mess all around it. - Mike

I worked in marine research for a number or years and we used a stainless steel spike system along the surfaces we didn't want any birds to land.

Now, that would not be a good thing for our antennas, nor was it good for areas we had to put our hands and/or feet. I started using tie wraps with the tail sticking up. That kept the birds at bay and we didn't get injured any longer. Plus, it's not metallic so there are no RF detuning concerns
