My Rice Farm And Birds WAHALA
Honestly, I wasn't even prepared for this bird wahala on my Ofada rice farm. The birds dealt with my farm seriously - imagine 9 acres! They had already sucked out the "milk" before the rice could properly form; maybe the person I employed didn't have enough experience with Ofada farming.
When the Hausa guys came on Wednesday they said some of the rice already eaten by the birds was not worth harvesting.
Omo, it really pained me. Apart from catapults and making noise, are there other effective ways of scaring birds away? Scarecrows don't really work because the birds get used to them. Anyone with experience in rice farming, especially Ofada, please advise. (Replies suggest netting, drones and learning from experienced growers.)
