looking for info on fencers-- does any have the info on how they work-- sounds funny I know but I have forgotten the ins and outs of the operation-- not how to use them but how they work==et. what voltage they should be putting out at the fence both for 110- plug in and the ones that hook to a car batt. I have forgotten how to check them and I have one that is killing birds- never had that happen before- and just wondering if the fence is putting out to much--

When I find a dead bird it is usually by a steel post. I have wondered if they are not thinking some of the insulators are flowers.

One electric fense supply company,(Red Snapper) made red plastic insulators. about 20 or so years ago they changed to black plastic. Said the reason was that humming birds thought the red insulators were flowers and were getting zapped.

I have a battery powered wide impedence fence charger and it puts out 6-7000 V accoording to the digital voltmeter I have. they need to be above abot 2000V to really hold cattle.

I have no idea what the current is. It depends on the rating of the charger and the resistance of the fence wire.

Any of them will kill birds, it doesn't take very much of a shock for birds. I find dead birds on the ground under the bottom wire about evry other week or so. I don't like it, but the alternative is to let the racoons and deer have free range in my garden, and that is not an option.

I'm betting you have a continuous current fencer
such has shown in link. >Link
your>Link electric line is ran next to your barb wire. The birds land on the electric wire with there feet & then touch the barb wire with their tail, or vice versa. The current freezes up their muscles & since it is continuous-well you get the idea

Check this site out below. Click the link
Usually a bird will not be hurt by a electric fence since he does not make a connection to the earth. Birds sit on very high voltage lines all time.

Some go as high as 10,000 volts. The Coop has a neon light tester for around $9 that has 5 neon lights and measures up to 5,000 volts..... of course you can always spend more for a tester if you feel the need.....
