Exposed screw tips

[thlynch3]

In building my coop, the tips of some screws are exposed. Could this be a problem for the birds? If so (probably so) what can I put on the screws to make them less dangerous?

I wouldn't be overly concerned about it, but you could use masking tape (or something similar) to cover the screw heads

Alright thanks

I'm always afraid they'll catch themselves so Hubby grinds the tips down

If you have a good set of pliers you could nip the tips off, curl them over with a hammer if the metal will give a bit, or use something like an exterior wood putty to smooth over/pack around them

I use a dremel with a cut off blade and/or a grinder bit.
