The occasional Osterized bird sprays across the neighbor's fence...... |
|
| |
...and, henceforth, becomes ostracized from its flock. |
|
| |
What size is an Ostrasize, anyway? |
|
| |
Hey, maybe we could throw a Sequential Turkey into it and see what happens ! |

Don't know if shredding birds would be a problem. The disk would whirl fast enough to be basically invisible to the neighbors. For all I know it might be perfectly visible to a bird. Also, just because it has visible and clear portions does not mean it would function like a Cuisanart. The thing could be constructed of clear plastic with a radio reflective layer applied with appropriate spacing. Perhaps the pickup horn and it's support could be made to look like an Owl to scare other birds away. |

"What's that loud whirring sound?" |
|
| |
"Dunno - can't see anything." |

The effective density of the dish would be at best roughly equivalent to its visual density. So if the dish appeared to be 50% transparent, it would collect at most half as much signal as if it was simply opaque. |

So that's why that flat plywood circle design with all the holes in it from the 70's never took off. |

Well, you could make the dish wider. |
