We lost half our crop to tape, songs and giant balloon eyes.  We net.

We have tried both tape and sound. They do not work for very long. The birds 
figure it out very fast. We net all 56 acres.....

We tried reflective tape once. It was truly a joke. We have found the 
bestsolution is netting!Berna BruzzoneBruzzone Family VineyardsPHONE: (831)

Alternatives to netting for birdsHas anybody used something other than nets to 
control birds after veraison?We are thinking about experimenting this year with 
one of those sound boxesthat puts out predatory bird calls, and maybe using 
reflective tape aswell. Does anybody have experience with these? Do they work at 
all?DebbiePortola Vineyards_______________________________________________VASCM
