Is there a screen in the "snorkel'?
One bad thing about the black snorkel interior is that it may attract birds and pigeons to build nests within.
To repel animals, I would paint it look like a mouth with teeth.
Or place a screen at the opening.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence indicating that you tried.

That IS a great color combination... Can we sneak over and remove that siren? It would look REALLY nice mounted in the bed of my black & yellow '79 Toyota...

Yes, that's a real 500-lb Federal SD-10 I'm holding (braggart!)
