I recently read a tip for this! They put cable ties around the top of the net. Do them up so the excess points up into the air. They swear it works, hope it works for you

If you put something shiny up there you will need to clean all the dust and dirt off occasionally or it will lose its shiny reflection. No guarantee if will work permanently. We had some and after awhile the birds got smart and flew in under them. We found out that old CDs etc. work well in outdoor buildings too even though it is dimly lit when lit at all.

You could always try hanging cd’s around the top like in fruit trees, or pop into a bunnings type store and purchase a big plastic owl put it up near your trampoline to deter the birds! Goodluck!

crikey, share the one that works with me PLEASE

These were good to read. A good question I haven’t ever thought about!

Try cd’s or tin foil like mince pie tins on the top of the cage

Put a fake rubber snake on it

old CDs often work at scaring birds away

a spray with cayenne pepper around the top should help

I made a “roof” for our trampoline out of shade cloth and secured it with cable ties around the top. No more bird poo and the trampoline stays really cool in summer as well.

what did you end up doing

there are some good comments here

You can buy plastic owls at bunnings

wow! rubber snakes? thats awesome@ how have i not thought of that before.. glad i read the answers on this one! thanks ladies!

Plastic bags should help but birds are unpredictable.

Wrap plastic snakes around the top.

We have tried just about everything and nothing seems to work. I get on the tramp with a hose and broom and get rid of the deposits

Try wrapping plastic snakes around the poles and hang old shiny CD’s off it.

Ive used plastic bags that blow around and scare them off.

I have fixed this problem by buying thin wire and running this around the very top of the cage using either pins or small nails stuck on by super glue. The idea is that they can not land and hold on they just fly away. This works on fence lines and decks and on my outdoor fan. We also have a big leopard statue that I move around and the birds swoop is and freak out and fly away. This sits near our entertainment area.
