[TowerTalk] Birds and towers

Hopefully you have small birds. Unfortunately I have turkey vultures that
love sitting on my antennas and they are not quick to fly away when I climb
up there.

I just completed installing two large Luso towers for a client and about to
start construction on mine so will have the same issue. The problem is
birds.  I am wondering if there is anything besides decoy owls that might be
worth trying to keep them from sitting and attempting to nest on these
towers. These towers are big and has lots of components that are full of
bird poop. Components are powder coated and it looks pretty bad. Any
suggestions (besides birdshot!) or thoughts on this subject would be
appreciated. The decoy owls seemed to have worked for a couple of weeks but
now seems useless.
