We run cherry plantations in the east of Austria and have been using RAPTOR equipment since 2006 to protect cherries from starlings and blackbirds. A RAPTOR protects our 0,75ha /200m long plantation and 2x RAPTORs the larger plantation with 1,5ha /320m. When the cherries turn red, we set up the equipment and immediately the starlings are gone.
Sometimes it can happen that we install the equipment too late and the birds have already discovered the red cherries. Even then, the RAPTORs only need 1-2 days to completely drive them out.
And this despite the fact that our plantations are unfavorably located next to a wind protection belt that provides shelter for the birds.
After 13 years of experience, we can certainly say that with the RAPTOR devices we no longer have a measurable harvest loss due to bird damage.
