Our Answer: Bird diverters work by creating a visual cue that birds can perceive from a distance, alerting them to the presence of the overhead lines. They are designed with high-visibility materials, such as bright colors, reflective surfaces, or even solar-powered LEDs, to be easily seen under various light and weather conditions. These devices are strategically spaced along the conductor to break up the silhouette of the line, making it easier for birds to recognize and avoid the obstacle.
