Bird Defense 4 Ventus W830 rain gauge
thingiverse
Birds are notorious for using my Weatherstation Ventus W830 as a makeshift toilet, leaving their droppings in the rain gauge and hindering accurate measurements. I was concerned that the aggressive droppings would eventually damage the device's internal mechanics. To deter birds from treating my weather station like a public restroom, I installed an adapter with spikes around the rim of the gauge. The spikes serve as a clear warning to birds: this is not a suitable spot for their bathroom habits. To attach the spikes, you'll need some additional materials beyond what comes with the device. I used stainless steel spikes from OBI, specifically the Type 2-6 model available at https://www.obi.de/metall-dachrinnen/taubenschutz-typ-2-6-reihig-333-mm/p/1309293.
