Watch the birdie!
Is the blue bird of happiness just a little too happy for your liking? Do avian projectile missiles project in your direction just a little too often? This the IPKat’s January 2005 Patent of the Month (sourced from delpion.com) is for you! The “bird diaper”, which, according to the abstract, is a “bird diaper for an uncaged pet bird to wear, featuring an enclosed pouch for receiving and containing excrement, and apertures to accommodate both the wings and the tail of the bird” should solve all your pigeon poop problems. And the good news for the bird about town is that the diaper can incorporate bright colours and decorative designs.
This, thinks the IPKat, is no bird-brained idea.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
