[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2259382, member: 91783"] In 1998 I was doing some European starling control at a power plant . I made some marks on the beams and handrails where they were roosting so then I would count the number or birds setting in those areas and then multiply that by the number of feet that they were roosting on . I figured that there were between 150,000 and 200,000 birds roosting every night . So then I had some non lethal methods that I was using to try and get them to stop roosting at the plant one of them was called a Bird-X . You could set it up to make random sounds at random intervals that would play on up to 4 speakers spread out over the area . It also had some ultrasonic sounds that it played randomly as well . The company scheduled a shut down on that unit for maintenance and I never gave it a thought about the bird-x .

They had been sent up on the unit to remove some asbestos insulation but when the bird-x went off they were convinced that there were some evil spirts at play up there and refused to stay or work up there .
