a post extending from a base;
first and second arms rotatably coupled to the post and each configured to rotate with respect to the base;
a first end-piece coupled with the first arm and a first mast, wherein the first end-piece includes first and second stops, and wherein the first mast is footed in a substantially closed housing;
a first sail rotatably secured to the first mast, and configured to rotate between the first and second stops;
a second end-piece coupled with the first arm and a second mast, wherein the second end-piece comprises a third stop and a fourth stop; and
a second sail rotatably secured to the second mast and configured to rotate between the third and fourth stops.
2. The bird deterrent device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second arm rotatably coupled to the post and configured to rotate with respect to the base;
a second end-piece coupled with the second arm and a second mast, wherein the second end-piece comprises a third stop and a fourth stop; and
a second sail rotatably secured to the second mast, and configured rotate between the third and fourth stops.
3. The bird deterrent of claim 2 , wherein the first arm has a first length, and wherein the second arm has a second length that is greater that the first length.
4. The bird deterrent of claim 2 , wherein the first and second arms are each configured to rotate with respect to the post.
5. The bird deterrent of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second sails is an extendible sail.
6. The bird deterrent of claim 1 , further comprising a support and a cotter pin removably coupled to the support, and configured to secure the support to the post and the base.
7. The bird deterrent of claim 1 , wherein the first arm is extendable.
8. The bird deterrent of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the base and post is configured such that the post is rotatable within the base.
9. The bird deterrent of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first stop and the second stop is movably coupled with the first end-piece.
10. The bird deterrent of claim 9 , further comprising a locking mechanism configured to lock the at least one of the first stop and the second stop in at least a first and second position.
