Successful product: bird scarer

Hello,

Happily I am posting to report a success! After years of hearbreak with birds raiding our persimmon tree, I lashed out on a move-ment actitvated sprinkler last week. It has been a tremendous succes so far. Not a single myna bird feating on the fruit - and we normally have them as thick as a locust plague. I think the fruit bat is staying away too, although it is a cunning creature and it may still be coming when I am not watching (birds all day, bats all night, fruit fly 24/7).

I hope the deterrent factor will last and they won't get used to it.

Hi,

I have had similar problems, I've tried all sorts of things that haven't really worked, can you tell me the name of the product you are using and where to get it? Or even a link?

Thanks

Hi Elf,

 

It is a "Scarecrow" brand. There are a few online stores that sell them. They are intended to be mounted on a stake in the ground so it takes a bit of fiddling to tie it up in a tree.
