Default "Bird Cage" Revisited

How about a shot of 15 kV high-audio frequency ac at ten second (or so)
intervals. Like a TV flyback transformer. At 16 kHz. you ought to be able
to get enough stray corona to knock the little *******s on their hineys.

Many of you will recall several years ago I made a cage to prevent
birds from nesting in an entryway chandelier...

Prevents nesting, but the !@#$%^&* birds still hang onto the wire grid
and poop into the chandelier :-(

Since there has been recent discussion on S.E.D of flexible plastics,
I was wondering if there's something available flexible enough to redo
my "bird cage" so that the birds can't cling to it?

It's Spring in AZ, 85°F today, so my need is immediate ;-)
