Hello all,
I'm new to this forum and not very familiar with birds behaviour. I work for a company that manufactures high voltage equipment for substations. We sometimes receive comments from utilities that birds create their nests inside the "jaw" of our equipment (disconnect switch).
It is a moving equipment, where the conductor entering the "jaw" will move out and probably affect the nest.
And utilities do not bird nesting, as this can cause harm to maintenance crew when approaching the equipment.
I was wondering if we manufactured the top cover in plexiglass (transparent plastic), would birds create nests?
Refer to the attached pictures.
I understand that every bird is different and each region of the world has different birds, but I'm talking about most common birds, that will even fit inside this "jaw" (6-1/2 inch wide (162mm)).
Thank you for your help
