Trials
From 2013 to 2016 trials have been run across New Zealand primarily focusing on vineyards. Throughout 2017 and into 2018 we have been expanding these trials with newer and improved lower power designs and are now testing on Kiwi Fruits, Cherries, Persimmons and Olive Trees. We have employed ornithologists to monitor bird counts, species and behaviors and the reports so far are very encouraging. Surrounding areas not covered by our systems have considerably more bird pressure than within the shield of our systems. Early adopters have taken a leap of faith by not installing nets and have noted reduced bird activity and much less damage than they would normally have.
