Seagulls seem to be inordinately fond of the ultrasonic transducers on the Orion Weather Stations.

To discourage pecking and nesting we offer this Bird Spike Kit.

Designed not to hurt the birds, the spikes provide a barrier to make it more difficult for birds to land on top of the transmitter.

The Bird Spike Kit is included as standard in Fixed-Base Orion Weather Stations. It is generally not needed for Vehicle-Mount and Portable installations.

Catalog Number: 9584
