Hi All,
It's the time of year when our feathered aviator buddies get interested in nest building. This (http://web.me.com/jophusdavid/Site/N111GG_Birds_Nest.html) developed in just a few days in one of our club planes at Concord, CA.
(I don't have a Grumman, but after flying them in the 70's I always felt the Cheetah and Tiger were the best all-around GA planes.)
Regards,
Tony

Birds can be a pain. The previous occupant of my hangar must have let birds and cats occupy the vacant planes he stored. Did he think the cats would keep the birds away? It took 3 years to get all of the cats to go away and not come back. Birds, well, the birds are back in force every year. I make it a habit of putting aluminum tape over the openings in the horizontal. Without it, it's a natural for birds. I had finished an annual on one plane, pulled it out of the hangar, the owner got in it and started the engine. In that length of time, say, 5 minutes, with the engine running, birds were flying into the horizontal openings. It was crazy.
I've tried all of the tricks to keep birds away from planes. The CD thing doesn't work. I've even put fly paper on the VOR antennas and the birds just landed on the fly paper. I tried hanging lots of things on the VOR antennas. Nothing works.
