Abstract
A device prevents birds from flying near and landing on a boat having a periphery. The device includes a post centrally mounted on the boat with a top end position above the highest point of the boat. A series of cables extends between the top end of the post and peripheral points on the boat. The cables can be detached and the post can be retracted during use of the boat. The cables interrupt the flight paths of the birds and prevent them from landing or flying near the boat.
