I'm hoping to deter pigeones from perching on the ridge of the

When you see them used on buildings they look pretty effective but
the slightest gap and there is often a matching stain down the walls.
I used something similar but plastic on the ridge of our garden swing
and the seat is now sh*t free. It is called bird comb and available
from places that sell upvc cladding and roofline plastic products.

bit cheaper too!

Just to add, the fingers are at about 110 degree to the fixing face so
two lengths in parallel make a V like strip similar to the screw fix
picture.
