Testimonials

“I utilized Bird Gard on a commercial farm to protect the wine grape cultivars ‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Franc’. Both the grower and I were impressed that your device appeared to significantly lower bird pressure on this planting.”

“I was particularly interested in the fact that there was minimal damage on the non-harvested buffer blueberry bushes, even though berries remained on these bushes until they dropped naturally.”

“Bird Gard’s performance was very impressive and we are pleased with the results. It does a good job of scaring birds in our vineyards and it also does a good job of attracting predators. During the growing season a Red Tailed Hawk lived near the vineyard. More than once I saw the hawk actively looking for distressed birds when the distress call sounded,”

“The trials with Bird Gard in sweet cherries were very successful. The orchard manager indicated he harvested the largest crop he can remember. Typically that block had suffered 40%-50% crop loss each season.”

“Our technician was finding 10-20% damaged fruit (peaches) each harvest. Soon after we installed Bird Gard, our percentage of bird damaged fruit dropped substantially to 2-3%.”
