A parking meter is sometimes covered with a cloth hood. When this is removed, the device beneath should spread its wings and fix you with its beady eyes, before settling down into its normal function.

       Hmm. If I see a meter with a hood on, I would assume it is being repaired and I wouldn't pay.   

       It would need at least the claws exposed.

       "We are gathered here this day to witness the union of the parking meter and the Falcon. Let us prey, their union proves fruitful and will be coined in the future."   

       Barn or screech owls would work, too, to keep seagulls away.
