## Abstract

A liquid bird aversion solution having methyl anthranilate in an amount of from 15 to 50% by weight of a total weight of the solution; d-limonene in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of a total weight of the solution; and isopropyl myristate in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of a total weight of the solution. The liquid solution is lighter than water and forms a thin liquid film on a surface of a source when applied to the source.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A liquid bird aversion solution, comprising:
methyl anthranilate in an amount of from 15 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution;
d-limonene in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution; and
isopropyl myristate in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution,
wherein the liquid solution is lighter than water and forms a thin liquid film on a surface when applied to a source.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The solution of claim 1, further comprising:
a coloring dye in an amount of from 0 to 1% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The solution of claim 1, wherein the methyl anthranilate is from 15 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The solution of claim 1, wherein the methyl anthranilate is from 30 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The solution of claim 1, wherein the d-limonene is from 20 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The solution of claim 1, wherein the d-limonene is from 25 to 35% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 7

A liquid bird aversion solution for application to a water source, comprising:
methyl anthranilate in an amount of from 15 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution;
d-limonene in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution; and
isopropyl myristate in an amount of from 10 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the solution,
wherein the liquid solution is lighter than water and forms a thin liquid film on a surface of said water source when applied to said water source.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The solution of claim 7, further comprising:
a coloring dye in an amount of from 0 to 1% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The solution of claim 7, wherein the methyl anthranilate is from 15 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The solution of claim 7, wherein the methyl anthranilate is from 30 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The solution of claim 7, wherein the d-limonene is from 20 to 40% by weight of the total weight of the solution.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The solution of claim 7, wherein the d-limonene is from 25 to 35% by weight of the total weight of the solution.
