Default Coax: Protection from birds

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
on 432 MHz. We discovered that ALL of the 4:1 coax baluns had been
chewed - some to the point that they were not connected to the yagis at
all! Some of the baluns had sections completely missing. Amazingly
enough, he still seemed to get out. Anyway, we have temporarily replaced
the baluns but we need to find a way of preventing a reoccurrence of
parrot pecking. All ideas and thoughts considered - sensible ones of
course
