Default Pine Needles in Birdcage Screen

There are three pine trees next to our birdcage and the falling needles get stuck in the screen. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of contractor performs pine needle removal service? Also open to diy ideas---might be a little afraid of heights, but if we must...

Only suggestion I have is to power wash from the inside. This will blow the loose ones laying on top right off. The needles stuck in the screen holes may be harder to remove. Maybe do it when the are wet from a rain, it might weaken them enough to push them out. Good luck.

I don't see this for sale online anywhere so maybe it has been discontinued. It was created for that purpose:

Thank you for the suggestions, Decade and kathy! As you said, the tool isn't available on line, but seeing the video inspired a makeshift solution!
