Oh, he's back. Just missed that there.
Hi folks,
back again, good good.
We're out on the verandah here. We're about 40 feet up. Care to look over with me.
We're looking south.
It's a beautiful day.
We're in the town of Kirkintilloch at the moment
and we're on the verandah as we said a minute ago but,
because of the height,
we also find the pigeons enjoy coming up here. They seem to find
it a nice place to roost and of course
to give a lot of trouble so I've got this wee system
to keep them at bay.Excuse me a second.
Of course what we don't want to do is the balloon to burst
as I blow it up, okay. If it does, no laughing.
So "Why" says you "the balloons" or maybe you don't, right.
However excuse me a second. Sit that there.
So I blow this one up
and we'll tie it in a knot.
We're going to use these for this one to keep
the pigeons at bay. That's the deal, right?
Now, these annoy the pigeons
when they come back.but first of all
we'll attach it.
Follow me.
This piece of string.
Now the clever thing here
is that these balloons are so light
as you observe they blow about in the breeze.
Right, now the pigeons, they'll come back
and at first they will be
rather wary of the balloons as they move. I put two down normally but this is for
demonstrations but one balloon will do, They will be very wary of the balloon,
right, as it blows back and forward and they themselves,
if they try to land here, their wings will cause the balloon to chase after them
and eventually they will get quite cheeky with the balloon
and they'll start pushing it aside and even more.
They will start attacking it quite aggressively
and when they dig their claws and their beak into it with sheer anger
and agression, it bursts
and I can assure you so far,
so far, they've not come back. So when they take off they take off about 40 to 50 miles an hour
and they really take off.
But if they do flutter back, when they see the balloon, they're off their mark again.
So for keeping the pigeons at bay I found this balloon
system quite satisfactory. Allow me just to show you once more.
There you are and I'll just...
so light the wind will move it about and their wings will move it about.
They'll attack it and it'll burst and that's the end of the story. So I hope that's of some value to you.
just like to...
busy with the balloon there. Just moves about quite freely.
So folks I'd like to thank you and catch you again sometime. Have a nice day
and I'll continue viewing south. Join me.
Join me over the south here.
Lovely day.
