Why do Birds Perch on TV Antennas?
It is very common to see birds perched on TV antennas in our towns and cities.
TV antennas have become a perfect spot for birds, especially in areas where there are not many trees. Being elevated, TV antennas offer birds a perfect observation point. They provide good visibility for finding food or spotting potential predators.
On the other hand, birds are social animals. They enjoy interacting with each other, and TV antennas allow them to gather in one area.
The birds that most commonly perch on TV antennas are pigeons, sparrows, starlings, crows, blackbirds, and more. Their feet are specially adapted to grip branches and also TV antennas. Not all bird species have this type of feet with three toes in front and one behind, which allows them to easily grip a branch, TV antenna, or electrical cable.
What Problems do Birds Perching on Antennas Cause?
The main problem caused by birds perching on antennas is the mess they leave behind. Bird droppings fall onto the roof, solar panels installed on the house, terraces, awnings, clotheslines, light wells, gutters, and more.
As explained in the article “How to Clean Bird Droppings”, bird droppings are highly acidic, which makes them corrosive and can damage facades, solar panels, roofs, etc. Additionally, they can be a source of diseases like histoplasmosis.
In addition to the mess, birds can cause signal loss and interference in the TV antenna.
