| Re: Bird Scarer
I have used bird-scarers and they become ineffective after about a day or so, due to the birds getting used to them. Many now have a random time feature to try to combat this. I used to use a range of non-sound scarers, and a banger every now and then. To leave it going for a month is a waste of gas! It is important to a farmers profits that birds such as pigeons etc are moved around, they will still feed somewhere else, but they can wipe out large patches of crop. Move them around and the plant growth can compensate for a quick scalping. Serious damage to parts of the crop can give problems with uneven ripening, giving problems at harvesting and spoilage in storage. |
