Ambient Weather RAINSPIKE Universal

Bird Spike Kit for Rain Gauges

SKU: RAINSPIKE (rain gauge not included).

Figure 1

Birds are fond of weather station rain gauges. They are

mounted in high locations, and are ideal for nesting. To protect

your rain gauge from bird damage, install the easy to mount

rain gauge spike kit from Ambient Weather.

Designed not to hurt the birds, the spikes provide a barrier to

make it more difficult for birds to land on top of the rain gauge.

Compatible with the Davis VantagePro, VantagePro2, Weather

Monitor II, Weather Wizard III and Rainwise Weather

Stations.
