This year John Giumelli’s Pink Lady apples produced a yield that was 200 bins short of expectations, though it could have been worse. Baudin’s or white tailed black cockatoos, are becoming a serious problem in the Perth Hills with heavy penalties imposed on those killing them, or even shooting to scare without a permit
The BirdDeter system is based on a Bird Detection system , which in turn activates deterrents in the crop. The Bird Detection system is also used to record and graph bird activity. Below is a graph of what transpired after the BirdDeter system was installed Giumelli orchard.
On the first day and a half, most birds left the orchard. Hunger pains soon set in and the birds returned, this time with much greater determination. After a further three days of distress calls, gas guns , pop up men and hawks responding to their attempts at entering the crop, they gave up. This is a repeatable result, with other growers such as the Forest Products Commission in Manjimup into their fourth year of successful Black Cockatoo control, protecting pine cones over a 6 month period.
