Of the many concerns a winegrower has throughout the year, birds may be the greatest. In past years I have invested in scare cannons, Mylar tape, and distress calls. Each year I invest in another piece of promising technology to protect my crop from our feathered friends. Well, this year the answer is the California Scarecrow. With a 34 foot span of random motion, I am sure this is the answer (right!)
Only time will tell if the Scarecrow will be effective. With birds, one can only hope to contain the damage. 100% elimination of damage is impossible.
I expect the units to arrive in June. I will post a photo of the installed devices at that time.
