Subject: birding-aus Re Swallow problems I was at a Defence Force Seminar last week in Cairns and during the day we visited the Navy base at Trinity Inlet. In their totally covered dry dock facility - open at both ends and the size of a large jumbo jet hanger, they had a number of owl statues positioned at either entrance - high up. When questioned about these the officer said they were extremely successful at keeping the building free of all birds - and certainly there were none in there when I was there - and there were Welcome Swallows flying about outside. It's worth a try _ the statues were life-size (1 ft. in the old money!). If owls don't work, try a hawk!
