Spikes to Avoid Birds

You may find these spikes on the HSBC building in Old Town which intend to avoid bird standing on the building structure because it will bring the very irritating bird dropping on the corridor and building surface. It is specially needed for HSBC building because there are many pigeons staying around Ipoh Padang and the fountain in front of the bank. Anyway, these spikes are not commonly seen in other buildings in Ipoh. So one may find there are very unhygienic condition of five-foot way or building surface that is contaminated by bird droppings.
