Bus stops with lights on the roof

Designed to deter them from perching, nesting and generally making a mess of buildings and people. In this case, bus shelters and bus passengers. Often also seen atop passenger information systems in railway stations. This was something different -- this looked like a small ball with different colours and spikes protruding from it. I have seen anti-pigeon spikes normally around the edges of buildings or in the lower parts of bridges. |

Interesting. Are there any images on Google Street View? |
