Snakes and birds...

After we returned from our vacation and the boat sat a few days in its dock I noticed that the seagulls were thinking that our classic boat is a nice place to have a snack and crap all over it.. Time to take counter measures.

I thought about getting some bright strands of fabric or something similar, but instead remembered that birds are naturally afraid of snakes. So I got myself a snake.

So far it has worked, the boat is clean and no seagulls are hanging around there no more. Make sure that you attach the snake so that it doesn't runaway. Or rather, fly away...
