How to get rid of the pesky birds in the garden and the garden

Oh my bad experience next door at the cottage with crows and magpies I can talk for a long time. The ubiquitous winged literally attacking the garden as soon as the start to tie cherries. More uninvited guests, which is connected to the blackbirds, enthusiastically ate plums and strawberries, and then turned his attention to the sea-buckthorn. The fact that it is acidic, the birds did not bother. As a result - the harvest has decreased significantly. And those berries that I managed to collect almost all were "bitten" (pleasant too little)!

And what about the croaking and chirping, it begins to spread through the garden early in the morning... Brr! I read a lot on the Internet tips to get rid of the birds from the site, and then experimented. I talk about their experiences.

1. Creating poor conditions for birds

The first step in dealing with cruise guests - make your garden and orchard unattractive to their regular visits. To conduct all-out cleaning, close the trash (crows and magpies did not disdain to waste), it is desirable to exclude the presence of open water at the site.

But by itself, likely such a measure would be ineffective. Ripening berries on the bushes and trees - a powerful incentive for the birds to suffer the inconvenience! But the order on the site will not be superfluous.

If possible, cover the trees and bushes net. Birds will not be able to get to the food, and most of the crop will be saved. Unfortunately, it is unlikely will cover a large cherry. But strawberries - is quite real!

2. Scarecrow - working or not?

So, I will say at once: a simple version of the bogey did not help at all. Birds were afraid of him, only the first day, and soon completely ignored my silent guardian. And even tried to make friends with him, sitting on his head. Do not underestimate the intelligence of the birds!

Positive results gave a scarecrow that moves. I did not bother with a complicated structure, a consolidated perekladinu- "hands" wire free to frighten could move. Nasty bird bonus - wide "cowboy fringe" on the sleeves and back, which is moving in the wind. I just sewed cut into narrow strips of cloth.

There are also disadvantages. It only works when it is windy. And yet - for the protection of plants in the immediate vicinity. It had no impact on birds, hunting for a crop on the trees. A low-growing bushes and strawberries defends well. But my experience has shown that a bogey is not enough.

"Disco"

Read on the Internet "holiday" mode: hang in trees CDs and tinsel. When winds are swirling and sparkle than scare away birds. Such a measure will only affect thrushes and other small birds, do not know their names.

But magpies and crows were delighted. Magpies and does a week have claimed the last CD somewhere in their coffers, and tinsel and did not survive the first two days. So that the process is highly questionable.

Another option that I found - include record shout predator birds. For example, a hawk. For the experiment, I tried, and all the ravens with forty quickly removed from the garden. When everything calmed down, they returned safely to the chosen by the branch. Of course, this method is not suitable: the bank of your ears and the ears of the neighbors.

On the Internet selling ultrasonic bird repellent for the garden. This small device, which publishes certain wave unpleasant feathered. But I'm not sure that the work repeller is safe for pets, and live chickens from a neighbor.

So what to do with crows and magpies?

If small birds can still be scare glittering discs, the crows and magpies did not want to leave. To be honest, the neighbor was able to get rid of them only by means of inhumane ways. He is armed with a pneumatic, shot the couple and hung "for everyone to see."

Unfortunately, only this horrible option led to what the ravens and magpies started to fly around it and my garden party. But I do not recommend to use the option, but still look for more humane methods, for example, to try to cover the crop grid. Put a "Thumbs up", if the article was interesting for you!
