ABSTRACT:
A device that deters and repels birds from landing on masts, spreaders, rigging and attached apparatus of sailboats, as well as towers and outriggers of power boats. The device generates an intermittent, quiet vibration that is transmitted to the boat. The combination of intermittent vibration and movement of the device results in stimuli that are unpleasant for birds. Birds attempting to perch upon a sailboat are deterred by the movement of the device and are otherwise repelled by the unsettling vibration transmitted through those parts of the boat usually used as perches.
