Just my 2¢, but I hope your ready for the dead birds. The voltage (It's
really the amperage you need to be concerned with.) that will put bambi
on his butt is gonna' fry "tweety bird" and friends (four and two
legged) that come into contact with it. You may be down with the
collateral damage but passer-bys, neighbors, grand kids, ect., may see
you in a whole, brand new light. Birds also help clean up insects in the
garden, so think about unintended consequences.

I'm not familiar with the system being discussed, but I used a hot
wire system a few years back to keep a dog from climbing the fence. to
be shocked, the dog had to be "grounded", literally. Birds that landed
on the wire were unaffected.
