Too late to take action now but I prefer this MRB be suitable for reading by all ages. If that is too hard then take your post elsewhere.

We can add Starlings and Pigeons to the list.

Monkey man being from the climate change religion might be against trapping then gassing them with CO2 maybe he prefers shooting them with air rifles.



Modern air rifles are pretty good perhaps if we're allowed to shoot cane toads with them as well in urban areas we could reduce their numers.

It gets expensive shooting toads with .204 ruger as least there isn't much to pick up.

As a decent person, you may want to consider it may be your chronic pearl-clutching that gets you suspended again and again ...

Good thread about annoying birds, and not all critters are so lovely!

My dislike are——-  cockatoos.

Because, some decades earlier, there was a drought somewhere in Vic and they all came to my area and have not left!

Our apple orchard has never produced apples since, because they come and pick them off before ripeness, eat a bit then chuck them on the ground.

And …. Yes we have tried many different techniques to shoo them away.
My best technique was the fake hawk in a bendy white pole. But after 2 weeks they all got cluey and defied my fake hawk  Embarrassed

Same thing in Adelaide.

You have to net trees. This means the trees have to be kept small.

1. Plant a whip (branchless sapling) or feather (sapling with some (small) branches then cut it 45cm from the ground. The scaffold branches on which everything else grows then form close to the ground.

Alternatively, espalier the trees, train the branches to 1 or 2 wires.

Use semi dwarf trees not dwarf trees for better vigor, disease resistance etc.

2. Prune for size in summer. Prune lightly in winter for shape, to remove branches that cross another, to remove diseased branches etc

This way you can keep the apple and most other trees (not apricot tho) to say 2m height (and 4m around) and can net them.

There are other ways to keep trees small enough that you can prune, spray, pick and net with both feet firmly on the ground.

One is by close planting. Plant 3 similar trees—3 types of cherry, of European plums or three Janpanese plums or 3 types of peach trees in a triangle with each tree 45cm from the next. Root competition will keep the trees small.

Or plant them in a row with 45cm spacings. Don’t mix apple, plum, cherry etc, use similar types of trees, varieties can differ.

As well as saving space it means that in a space about that of one full grown tree you can have early, mid and late season peaches.

Prune to keep the centre of the 3 trees empty of branches and leaves (easier to do in winter) so air and light can reach all parts of your trees.

Plant the trees over 9m from your house—you have an excellent ember-catching, fire resistant barrier to bushfires!
