Residents on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula have slammed a not-for-profit’s move to install spikes on light poles to stop pelicans from perching on them.
A move to install spikes on light poles to stop pelicans from perching on them has been slammed by residents in this coastal area.
“But what the council’s decided to do is install spikes on top of the lamp posts to stop the pelicans from actually sitting there.” “They sent me a letter to say the reason is because they’re causing the light poles, the plastic, to corrode and its costing council money to have to fix them,” she said.
A Bellarine Bayside spokesperson said the droppings of birds, including pelicans, were acidic in nature and had been corroding the lights, resulting in damage to the infrastructure.
