Orchard Bird Drive Solution

There are many problems in agricultural production, and of course birds are also one of the factors. There are many ways to prevent birds, including many violent methods. However, today's society advocates harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. We hope that while protecting strawberries, you do not harm birds. Below, I will provide some feasible solutions.

1. From a visual perspective, birds can be repelled by arranging scarecrows or colorful balloons around farmland, or bundling brightly colored cloth strips with tree sticks. When the wind blows and sways back and forth, it will have a bird repelling effect.

2. From an auditory perspective, drive birds by using some old cans, placing a small amount of sand and stones inside, tying them to trees around the farmland, or setting up some wooden sticks to tie the cans, which act like wind chimes and have a low cost.

3. You can purchase some bird protection nets and choose ones that are not lethal. Some nets cannot escape when birds collide, and the tighter they become, the more they may cause bird death. Do not use such nets.

4. Use some technological means to equip a computer with a high-power audio system, download the sounds of bird predators, such as eagles or firecrackers, and play these audio to achieve the effect of repelling birds.

Then how to prevent birds in an orchard?

1. Fruit bagging

Fruit bagging is the simplest way to prevent bird damage, while also preventing the effects of diseases, insects, pesticides, dust, and other factors on the fruit. When bagging, it is important to choose paper bags with good quality and strong toughness. Nylon mesh bags can be used for bagging in areas with more birds, which not only prevents bird damage but also does not affect fruit coloring, but the cost is relatively high.

2. Erect bird protection nets

Bird proof nets are suitable for both large and small orchards. It is best to use yellow bird proof nets for orchards in mountainous areas, and red bird proof nets for orchards in plain areas. In areas with frequent hail, the grid size should be adjusted and the hailstorm prevention net should be combined with the bird prevention net. But the cost of bird nets is high, and their lifespan is short. After the fruits are harvested every year, they must be collected, which is labor-intensive. Moreover, they are prone to aging and cracking due to scorching sun and wind and rain erosion.

3. Bird repeller

Use an intelligent voice bird repeller. According to reports, the intelligent voice bird repelling system can sustainably and effectively achieve wide-area bird repelling in orchards, farmland, and fish ponds, with a maximum effective area of 3.3 hectares (50 acres). It has been successfully applied to crops such as cherries, goji berries, grapes, pears, apples, bayberries, and millet, with good bird repelling effects.

4. Bird repellent

The bird repellent is mainly composed of natural spices. After being diluted, it spray on the tree crown, and the droplets adhere to the tree crown, which can slowly and persistently release a kind of fragrance gas that affects the central nervous system of birds. Birds will fly away after hearing it, effectively driving away without harming birds.

5. Camphor pill repels birds

Mainly using the special odor of camphor balls to repel birds, the odor emitted by camphor balls can last for about 15 days, which can prevent birds from approaching the fruit during this period. Choose high-quality and strong smelling camphor balls and hang them at a higher place in the fruit tree. Choose high-quality camphor balls and determine the quantity according to the size of the orchard. Wrap camphor balls in small bags with gauze, placing 3-4 seeds in each bag. When peaches, pears, grapes, and other fruits are about to mature, or when the bag is removed from the bagged fruit, hang them at the top of the tree top. Generally, hang 1-2 bags per fruit tree to prevent bird damage.
