Adjustable bird slope
Methods of manufacturing an adjustable bird slope are described. A height of the face of the bird slope can be altered as necessary so that the bird slope can effectively fit almost any perching area.
1. A method of manufacturing a device that prevents birds from landing on a perching area comprising:
providing a device having a laterally elongated face and a support member extending from a base of the device to the face;
coupling a removable portion to the face to increase an effective height of the face;
wherein the face is angled between 20 to 80 degrees relative to the base; and
wherein the device is configured such that the face overlies both the base and the support member when the base is horizontal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removable portion comprises a groove that is configured to receive a lip of the face.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the face comprises a groove that is configured to receive a lip of the removable portion.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removable portion and the face are substantially co-planar.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting a length of the support member to adjust an angle of the face relative to the base.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base is adapted to rest on a ledge.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removable portion extends at least 0.5 m.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the face is comprised of a synthetic polymer.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support member is hingedly coupled to the face.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the face has a smooth texture.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the removable portion comprises laterally extending scores.
12. A method of manufacturing a device that prevents birds from landing on a perching area comprising:
providing a base coupled with a laterally elongated face and a support member extending from the base to the face;
providing an extendible member configured to couple with the face to increase an effective height of the face;
wherein the face is angled between 20 to 80 degrees relative to the base; and
wherein the device is configured such that the face overlies both the base and the support member when the base is horizontal.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the face comprises a top portion that is received within groove of the extendible member.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the extendible member comprises a top portion that is received within groove of the face.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the removable portion and the face are substantially co-planar.
16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising adjusting a length of the support member to adjust an angle of the face relative to the base.
