Bird repellant device for use on transparent surface

Abstract

A device for preventing birds from flying into transparent objects is disclosed. The device comprises a thin, narrow streamer that is flexible in the wind. The streamer may have reflective properties and have an adhesive portion.

1 . A device for repelling birds from physical contact with a structural surface, said device comprising: 
 an elongated filament;    means for anchoring said filament to said structural surface; and    said filament further including a major lengthwise portion thereof being disengaged from said anchoring means.    
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein said major lengthwise portion is non-perforated throughout its length.  
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein said lengthwise portion is separated a predetermined distance from said structural surface by said anchoring means.  
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein said elongated filament is comprised of a reflective material.  
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4  wherein said elongated filament comprises pleats.  
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein said elongated filament has a length and a width, said length being greater than said width.  
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1  wherein said elongated filament comprises a flexible material.  
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 7  wherein said elongated filament being capable of producing an audio alarm when said elongated filament contacts said structural surface.
