There is moreover no technology that affords sustained repellency of coating materials against bird damage. A bird-repellent coating material according to the present invention contains at least one component selected from the group consisting of a microencapsulated aqueous dispersion of a visual repellent against birds, a microencapsulated volatile olfactory repellent against birds and a powder of a visual repellent against birds, and an aqueous resin vehicle that contains the above component. No bird-repellent coating material has been conventionally produced in which the components and so forth of the material are established taking into consideration the diversity and learning ability of birds. The formulation of the bird-repellent coating material according to the present invention, by contrast, has been devised taking into account the senses of sight and smell in birds. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bird-repellent coating material comprising: a microencapsulated aqueous dispersion of a visual repellent against birds; and an aqueous resin vehicle, wherein the microencapsulated aqueous dispersion of the visual repellent against birds is incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, wherein the visual repellent against birds in the aqueous dispersion of the visual repellent against birds is at least one selected from the group consisting of a fluorescent brightener, a fluorescent protein, and a water extract of Acanthaster planci powder. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, further comprising: a microencapsulated volatile olfactory repellent against birds, wherein the microencapsulated volatile olfactory repellent against birds is incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 3, wherein the volatile olfactory repellent against birds is at least one selected from the group consisting of a sulfur-containing terpenoid, a sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound, an oxygen-containing heterocyclic compound, rhubafuran, cinnamyl nitrile, and vertacetal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, further comprising: a powder of a visual repellent against birds, wherein the powder of the visual repellent against birds is incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, further comprising: at least one selected from the group consisting of a microencapsulated volatile olfactory repellent against birds and a powder of a visual repellent against birds incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle, wherein a mass of repellents against birds with respect to a mass of a non-volatile fraction is in a range of 0.1 mass % to 20 mass %, wherein the mass of repellents against birds include a mass of the visual repellent against birds in the aqueous dispersion of the visual repellent against birds, and one or more of: a mass of the volatile olfactory repellent against birds, and a mass of the visual repellent against birds that constitutes the powder of the visual repellent against birds. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, further comprising: a small animal repellent that prevents intrusion of small animals excluding birds, wherein the small animal repellent is incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 7, further comprising: at least one selected from the group consisting of a microencapsulated volatile olfactory repellent against birds and a powder of a visual repellent against birds incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle, wherein a mass of repellents with respect to a mass of a non-volatile fraction is in a range of 0.1 mass % to 20 mass %, wherein the mass of repellents include a mass of the visual repellent against birds in the aqueous dispersion of the visual repellent against birds, a mass of the small animal repellent, and one or more of: a mass of the volatile olfactory repellent against birds, and a mass of the visual repellent against birds that constitutes the powder of the visual repellent against birds. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The bird-repellent coating material of claim 1, further comprising: a colloidal silica, wherein the colloidal silica is incorporated into the aqueous resin vehicle.
