It does not seem specific, just any eating the crop that is sprayed.

Glen I  have had a major problem with birds this season in particular
blackbirds,thrushes, starlings  digging plants up out of the ground ,
between 50 -250 plants  at a time. It became so bad this year that I had to
cover crops with netting. it is also very frustrating to get blackberry and
oldmans beard growing in amongst the crops. I even have them digging up
mature broccoli plants in the vege garden.
 Along with sparrow I consider them a noxious pest along with rabbits and
possums. Sparrow poop on flowers does not excite the consumer.
Will bird scare help in this area?

Thanks Ton y

Hi,

Sorry, if I repeat someone elses comment.  I haven't followed the
discussion on this topic closely.  Has anyone mentioned flying a hawke,
kite, any bird of prey type of kite?  Some grape growers are doing it here
in Sunraysia, Victoria, Australia, and since they are doing it for several
years, I assume they are having some effect.  The main problem I think are
honeyeaters sucking the sweet juicy grape berries.

Yesterday I saw a cultural gem that brought a real happy smile to my face.
I was driving a long the road, when something bright and colourful caught
the corner of my eye.  At the end of each row of fruit trees, I'ld say at
least ten of them,  huge stuffed scarecrows were put up in the most
brightly coloured clothes; all human shape except for one that depicted a
dragon or dinosaur.  My guess is that school kids from the local primary
school  (they are very active here in hands on experiences having their own
vege garden, planting trees, monitoring river salinity, breeding and
releasing biological control agents etc.) made them and put them up.  I do
not know, if they work, but they are beautiful to look at, and I am sure
the kids had a ball making them.

 It seems that our Feathered Friends really enjoy our crops.  We have put
 reflector tape out, which only seems to work a few days.
 
 Does anyone have any workable solutions; physical, energetic or
 elemental?
 
 Thanks.

We are beginning trial on grapes with HortResearch tomorrow and should have
the results in a couple of months. Otherwise you could have a go.  What is
your crop?

BD peppers applied at homeopathic potencies can work well, and applied
radionically with a field broadcaster pipe can be very effective too,
however its easier when the birds (or any mobile pest) have an alternative
venue. You also need to be mad enough at the birds to kill one for the
pepper or lucky enough to find a fresh one dead (road kill).
