>The utility fought with animal rights activists and environmentalists for a
while until the utility came up with the idea of constructing platforms at
the very top of the double-pole structures.  As a result, the outages
ceased, the birds had a safe roosting place where they actually built nests,
and that was the end of the issue.<

Of course, it would need to be turned to face true North to work...
