Indawo yokufaka yokuvimbela i-bird spike:

Izimbangela eziyinhloko zephutha lokulimala kwezinyoni i-flashover yezinyoni, isifunda esifushane sezinto ezimnyama zesidleke, isifunda esifushane somzimba wenyoni, njll. Phakathi kwazo, uhambo lomugqa olubangelwa izinyoni ezinkulu zasemanzini njengomndeni wakwaHeron kanye nomndeni wonogolantethe embhoshongweni cishe u-90% wephutha lomonakalo wezinyoni welayini yokudlulisela, okuyisizathu esiyinhloko sohambo oluhlobene nezinyoni zomugqa wokudlulisela. Umjikelezo omfushane wempahla yesidleke sezinyoni kanye nesango lesifunda elibangelwa ukujikeleza okufushane komzimba wezinyoni kwenzeka kakhulu emugqeni wokusabalalisa. Ngakho-ke, iphuzu elibalulekile lokuvimbela ukulimala kwezinyoni zomzila wokudlulisela ukuvimbela ukulimala kwezinyoni okubangelwa izinyoni ezinkulu. Ukuvimbela ukulunywa kwezinyoni "inalithi yensimbi" efakwe embhoshongweni. Inhloso iwukuvimbela izinyoni ezinkulu ukuba zinganyakazi embhoshongweni, ukuze kufezwe umgomo wokuqeda i-flashover yezinyoni. I-Anti bird spike isetshenziswa kakhulu ukuvimbela izintambo zokudluliswa kwe-flashover ye-110 kV kuya ku-500 kV.
