Bird Defense

...so, the birds are out in force, doing their best to pick the vineyard clean. We use an arsenal of defenses, including netting, reflective flash tape, "Terror Eyes" the owl, a remote-control helicopter and of course the .12 gauge. The only thing that really works is the netting, but it is a pain to put up and a bigger one to take down. I was gonna get one of those used-car lot "Tube-Man" that sway 20' in the air, but they're still in experimental stage for bird scare and I decided to wait a year to make sure they really work.

Might have to just bite the bullet and get more netting.
