Fire away. Youl find that you will spend a lot of time and ammo and they will just keep coming. Their smart little bastards and they know when your around and what range they are safe at. You might get a bunch at first, then they get sneaky. I remember back in the mid 90's they gassed a bunch out of the trees in downtown Seattle.


Your neighbors will hate you but you can try a propane popper like they use in vineyards, probably the best method i've seen. I have seen all kinds of bird detractants and some birds dont care. I've seen reflective tape, owl decoys, magpie traps. They get rid of a few but they still keep trying to get to what they want most (Food).

What kind of fruit are you trying to save??
