Here Pelicans with their 5 foot wingspans do us in,(well and themselves too!). No good way to prevent it either.

We tried sprinkling the area with some sulfur powder to no avail!
Hope this helps.

We were in the reporting area of the hospital that records the highest number of rattle snake bites in Canada.
I see a lot of plastic guards installed on the insulators of pole mounted transformers. They are circular plastic sheet about 12 to 18 inches in diameter. They make it difficult for crawling climbing animals to access the insulators and prevent birds from sweeping their wings directly onto grounded metal.
Cheap and easy to install.

Sir , usually Crows are building nest on transmission line towers & some time , they use metal wire as a building material for there nest , this metal wire gives strength to there nest but Tripping may cause to our lines. It is observed that when we remove nest , crows again started nest building activity , somewhere else on tower or on nearby tower.
I heard In india Tata Power Limited having some solutions in practice for this problem. If you know something about that please write me.
IEEE has also issued Guide on the same topic , if someone has read that one , please help me.
