Experience Report on Bird of Prey Decoys in Christmas Tree Plantations / Austria for Bird Control
| Location: | Mühldorf / Austria |
| Objective: | Prevention of terminal shoot breakage |
| Species causing damage: | Various songbirds, sparrows, large number of crows |
| Area to protect: | Partial areas of about 0.5 hectares in difficult terrain |
At Mr. Hörhager’s plantation, 4 bird of prey decoys (falcon) were set up for bird control. This was necessary to prevent destruction of terminal shoots by the birds present.
As Mr. Hörhager reports, in the Christmas tree plantations where the bird of prey decoys were set up, there was virtually no terminal shoot breakage!
For him, the use of the bird of prey decoys was a complete success, and Mr. Hörhager is very satisfied with the results.
"The success of the decoys was, in my opinion, very good, no terminal shoot breakage can be observed."
