Swallows in printing studio
Best thing is to prevent them getting in in the first place if
possible. Do they come in via doors or windows? Flywire over windows
could be a start. Doors can be birdproofed by those hanging strips of
plastic used as fly excluders - people can push through easily or they
can be temporarily held out of the way for people carrying things. The
strips should be heavy plastic and preferably opaque so birds dont think
they are flying into free space.
Sawtooth factory-type roofs with glass in the vertical sections are a
real problem - being basically completely out of reach. Also there's
often the odd broken pane. Birds often get trapped up there because they
cant understand glass and they can see 'outside' but are very reluctant
to dive downwards into a darker area for an exit.
The completely enclosed supermarket where I shop often had sparrows
inside, until they worked out a better way of screening the inside of
the huge delivery bays from the storage areas behind the scenes, and
fitted much heavier flexible plastic doors from storage into the public
part of the supermarket.
Best of luck, Anthea Fleming in Melbourne
