The spikes do not hurt the birds; they are simply a barrier that makes it 
difficult for birds to land on top of the transmitter. The bird spike kit 
does not provide complete protection against birds, but it does render 
the transmitter unsuitable for roosting and nest-building.
Note that when the kit is in place, more snow can accumulate on the 
transmitter, and the snow can melt away more slowly.
