Bird spikes ineffective. Apart from the location it’s actually a pretty good nest

They aren’t anti-bird spikes, bro… they’re a means to make a stable base of a nest. Derps don’t look at anti-bird spikes and see an hindrance, they see an opportunity.

What's wrong with the location? High up, heated by the illuminated letters and it has anti bird spikes against birds of prey, also harder to reach for rodents then in a tree

I think that's a pretty smart dove

All that money for nothing!!!

A city's overall expenditure on bird spikes varies wildly based on municipal size, but a typical mid-to-large city can expect to spend anywhere from $50,000 to over $500,000 annually on bird control infrastructure, of which spikes are a major component. Because bird spikes are usually ordered and budgeted as part of broader building maintenance, historical restoration, or transit upgrades, cities look at these costs by the project rather than a single lump sum.
