Maybe get a rent a hawk or the duty owl.

Seriously -- the Ham stores sell a good looking owl to put on towers --
don't if they scare away the other boids -- but they look good (;-)

supplied to it? Are my concerns valid?

I've tried to chase Starlings away by applying 100W to my 20m rotatable
dipole. Some fly away. Some just sit there and tingle, jumping around
and ruffling their feathers. On my antenna, the only place guaranteed to
chase away a bird is the feedpoint with one foot on each side.
