Our best was a bird landing on a transformer up on a pole. Installed a fake Eagle after that.

Given the scope of the effort invested in attempting to prevent duck and goose crap on the world's docks, I'm skeptical that this tactic is effective.

Shrug... the datacenter is land locked (different animal species) and the problem hasn't happened again in multiple years.

I think you're taking the Eagle a bit too seriously though... if we didn't do anything how would we know? It isn't like this was an expensive thing to try out.

OK. It's just that I am one of those people who have tried to solve the duck/goose problem and would be delighted if a fake eagle or owl worked.
