After yesterday's shenannigans, I think I need to bird-proof my light fittings.

How Beaky is still alive is what baffles me.

Little fucker was having a right squawk and squeak at it, so I grabbed the bugger so I can look at the wiring. Then took down the pendant, and found that the live wire was nearly severed.  And then had to lop-off about 50mm, then re-strip and fit it back up there.  That bird must have an impenetrable beak or something, lucky bird or what! |

Foook... We've had numerous budgies during the 90s, but all our lights are raised above a false ceiling, so there aren't any wires poking out.  Perhaps you could do with fixtures like this, that hide the wire "under" (technically over!) themselves. Also, a duct-tape based beak-closure-system might be warranted

I was thinking more towards corks on the ends of their beaks.  My ceilings are about 50cm above the tops of the windows, I was thinking about using that false ceiling idea. Or I could put in some down lighters and just do away with the central fixture. |
