Fran, A system of thin wire suspended over the bridge could deter birds from trying to land on it. Would be high enough not to bother people and is barely noticeable. A local pest management firm might have experience installing these.

Since it’s a pedestrian bridge, no spikes or other things that could cause harm to humans. https://www.nps.gov/katm/learn/management/bridge-construction-faq.htm Anyone have experience with this? (Eagerly awaiting response, as it will most likely also get added to the MuseumPests.Net “solutions” page for bird pests. 😊) Thanks!
