DesignScape - 2'x4' Perched Birds

Birds perch on power lines for various reasons. Power lines offer a convenient place for birds to rest, roost, and even hunt. They are safe from ground predators like cats and coyotes while perched on power lines. The open view also makes it easy for birds like hawks and shrikes to spot their prey on the ground below.  Additionally, power lines are a part of the modern landscape, and birds have learned to incorporate them into their daily lives. The wires offer a convenient place for birds to perch, particularly if there are no tall trees or vegetation around. In fact, the presence of power lines in some parts of the world has actually helped some bird species expand their ranges into desert and prairie areas where tall vegetation is hard to find
