first spring after we installed
our panels, we found 3-5 dead, cooked birds in our pool and on our deck, every day. it was beyond disgusting. the company agreed to come out and out screens up around the panels to keep them
out, not before we scraped at least 100 dead birds off the deck.
better for the environment? the birds would say no.
