Once you have identified which birds are affecting your harvest, take action to scare them off or keep them away with physical barriers like netting or scarecrows, to prevent them from coming back!
Netting is the most effective option as it will completely cover the crops and keep birds away. Scarecrows can create a physical deterrent and can be intimidating enough to stop birds from getting close. Bird spikes will stop them from landing on top of crops, however, these are not very aesthetically pleasing. Before deciding on a method, assess which technique fits into your overall garden design, take into account how much time you want to spend maintaining it, and consider the potential damage to other wildlife. Each situation is unique and it’s important to determine what works best for you.
Once you have determined the best method of proofing now is the time to install the protection. You could try and do this yourself or you could speak to a professional bird control company that has the expertise on how to correctly install the proofing methods to ensure maximum efficiency. Either way, this will get you on your way to protecting your crops from pest birds.
