10mA sounds like an awful lot for the neon (if the 10kV is right), you'll have
nothing left to zap the birds ;-). I was going to suggest 1mA from 4x2M2
high voltage resistors in series with a standard mains neon.

I don't reckon ours put out any more than 2-3kV once hooked up
to a few hundred metres of fence tape - much less in the wet.
