[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 614143, member: 4362"] I just thought about something that might help. My grandmother owned a farm that had some old tenant houses on it. Her house like the tenant houses werent' wired with electricty as they are today but when the electric co op came through everybody jumped at the chance to get a light bulb. They used a cloth and tar sheathed wire to run to the houses - no bigger than a mondern day extension cord. The wire was twisted with the ground and the hot all coiled up together. When I was a youngster, I used to go out and shoot my Red Rider at the thousands of starlings that migrated through each fall. One day I found myself near the tenant house and I saw what looked like hundred of starlings hanging upside down on the feed wire that went to the house. Apparantly the sheath had given way enough that the birds could touch both of the wires and get zapped. Maybe you could find some of that type wire and just pull the birds off every week or so. ;-) :lol2: [/QUOTE]
