Grape vineyards easily fall prey to a variety of pest birds, including robins, finches, starlings, blackbirds, and mockingbirds. Signs of bird damage on grapes include half-eaten fruit, multiple peck marks, and complete disappearance of fruits. Birds can cause grapes to fall to the ground, rendering them unsuitable for harvest. Damaged grapes that remain on the tree or fall to the ground can also harbor diseases and insect pests, posing a risk to the remaining crop. This can result in reduced yields in the vineyard, which can have a negative impact on the wine industry. There are several reasons why you should prevent birds from damaging your grapes:
– Birds will not only cause havoc through grape loss, but they also cause secondary spoilage through bacteria, molds, yeast, and insect damage.
– Bird damage reduces harvest yields.
– The poor standard of the grapes causes delays and interruptions during the manufacturing process resulting in inferior quality wine.
However, discovering an efficient approach to deter them can be a time-consuming process, making it crucial to find a fast and dependable solution. Here are some straightforward strategies you can attempt to prevent birds from pilfering your wine grapes.
-Bird Netting
-Fake Decoys (Scarecrows, coyotes, owls, etc.)
-Liquid Bird Repellents: Pestman Bird Repellent
