Birds!

We have a bunch of robins in our neighborhood.  And they all love sitting on the crossbar of our swing set.  Last year, I put bird deterrent ribbon up there, but is SUPER reflective.  Like it was frequently temporarily blinding me while inside the house.  So while it worked to keep the birds away, I'm thinkin' my neighbors (whose house is situated slightly uphill from ours) were probably none too thrilled with that solution.

So back to the drawing board this year.  I saw the idea of using fake snakes as a bird deterrent somewhere, so I figured I'd give that a shot.  I ordered a rubber snake from Amazon and nailed that sucker to the crossbar.

Yeah....I think I might need to come up with a Plan C.
