Problem: Article: Bird spikes are strips of small, thin rods that jut up toward the sky. Generally made from plastic or steel, the spikes will not hurt the birds but will remove their perching spots. Birds spikes are particularly effective when protecting thin areas like gutters and ledges. Bird spikes are popular deterrents that you can often find at garden and home improvement stores. Bird spiders, also known as 360 deterrents, are perch prevention devices made from a series of long, floppy rods connected to a central hub. The rods are incredibly thin and fan out over a wide area, making it impossible for birds to land. Bird spiders are often used in boating, so look for them at marine storefronts in addition to pest control shops. Available from pest control and home improvement stores, bird repellent gel is a non-noticeable deterrent that turns your roof into an uncomfortable perch. Applied similarly to hot glue, the gel makes your tiles or shingles feel sticky, causing any feathered friends to flee.  Expect to reapply the gel every 6 to 8 months. Check the gel’s warning label for information on whether it is dangerous to other animals. If you’re dealing with an entire flock of birds, individual deterrents may not be good enough. Instead, purchase a long roll of bird netting from a garden or pest control store. When pulled over your entire roof, the netting will prevent birds from making a solid landing, keeping them away from the area.  Each net you buy will come with different installation recommendations, so read the included instructions carefully. If you can’t afford to cover the whole roof, protect important areas like the top of your chimney.
Summary: Install bird spikes over popular perching spots. Put a bird spider on your roof to remove landing space. Cover shingles and tiles with perch repellent gel. Lay a net over your roof to remove all perching spots.

Problem: Article: With many fish, like koi, females tend to be larger than the males. This is especially true during spawning time, when females have large abdomens. To check the size of a fish in the same species, you can look at them when they're near each other, take a picture of each one, or catch one in a net to quickly use a ruler to measure its length and width.  This is often caused by the fact that the female carries the eggs in her abdomen. Once the eggs are laid during spawning season, the females and males can return to the same size. If you catch a fish with a net to measure it, try to keep the fish in the water and place the ruler in the water to measure it. You will likely be able to get a general idea of the length and width. Look carefully at the face of the fish just between the eyes and above the mouth. If it has a large, protruding bump, there's a good chance that the fish is a male. This bump is called a “nuchal hump,” and it's present on many types of fish, like the tilapia, angelfish, oscar, and discus. Some species of fish don't have a nuchal hump, but the presence of one is normally a great indicator that you have a male fish. Male fish tend to grow bristles, bumps, or shiny scales during breeding season to attract females. Females can sometimes also grow these attributes, but the male versions tend to be larger and more pronounced to attract attention. For example, male pleco fish will grow long bristles on their pectoral fins and around the edge of their mouth and head. While females can grow similar bristles, theirs tend to be smaller.
Summary:
Compare the size of the fish during spawning season. Look for a bump on the forehead of the fish to identify a male. Watch for designs and growths during mating season.
