Mike, AD6AA pointed out the use of CD's as deterents to bird  
populations camping on
antennas.   CD's hung from light line have been used successfully on  
the foredeck of
sailboats, to scare off gulls and other marine birds.    We used to  
use 'em liberally,
down in MD.

On the other hand,  they didn't work when it came to a blue heron.    
The big bird
just sat on the foredeck, and tapped the CD's, looking at itself in  
the reflection.
Fortunately, the heron was more discrete about where it crapped than  
were the
seagulls.
