Hi all,
I seem to recall a while back, someone posting an article about
stopping birds - parrots in particular - from nibbling away at coax and
insulated wires. One of our local club members has 4X10 on 2m and 4X15

Alan,

I have suffered from birds (mainly Sulphur Crests) damaging coax.

For some years, I have been placing coax inside PE irrigation tube, and so
far, have not sustained damage to cables protected in this way. The cockies
have played around unwinding tape and breaking nylon ties, but they leave
the irrigation tube alone.

It might work for you.
