Q. How do you stop Gambel's
quail from eating apricot tree leaves? They never touched my 3-year-old tree
until near the end of the last growing season then they swarmed the tree and
chewed at everything that was green. These little fish poops ate all melon
plant sprouts yesterday as well. I tried hanging CD's, strips of tin foil to no
avail.
A. About the only thing I can suggest is giving them an
alternative to munch on or cage them out using bird netting. I am sure there
are lots of suggestions from people like spraying garlic, hanging pie tins or
DVD’s to scare them but in my experience these tricks do not work for very long
or not at all.
Electronic bird scaring device used at the Orchard. It would work for about two weeks. After that, the birds got used to it. |
