Bird scarers

[Big Chim]

The orchard is owned by a guy in Wellington (and as he doesn't live there, he doesn't care if they go off outside the regulated hours) who has a manager in charge. He in turn has another manager who obviously doesn't know what the hell he's doing when it comes to setting these devices!

You should track down the person in wellington and sit out side there residence for a while making a hell of a racket and see how they enjoy it!!! What goes around comes around aye

Not many people would be silly enough to take my comments seriously,but I guess there's always one or two huh.
Do the obvious and call noise control,EVERY time they go off outside hours.
They "NC" will soon get sick of it and confiscate the things.
Their not only there to ruin my partys you know.

Trouble is, noise control don't bother to do anything - the problem is the devices are being operated outside the council regulations and they either aren't aware of those regulations or think that because the noise is not necessarily too loud, there is no problem. One refused to do anything about it the first year because he was scared there was actually someone in the orchard with a gun!

I've just fired off a strongly worded letter to the council, pointing out that this is the third year in a row we've had problems with them being operated outside 7am-8pm and as we get bugger all for our rates anyway, I expected something to be done about it! I'll let you know how I get on.

Road Rash - the owners come up to the property most weekends so are there when these things are going off - they don't give a stuff, reckon they don't even notice it! They probably live next to the hospital or airport so are used to annoying noises!

Cheers, I'll let you know when I find out, I've got a feeling it's in an apartment though, and they're not so easy to target!

They wouldn't work on Maggies. They're smart enough to tell between an ordinary van and one with a 12 gauge pointing out the door.
