Hello All,

I want to report that my helium filled, modified yellow smiley face ballon is 100% effective in keeping birds off my grape arbor.

There are similar commerical products out there, that are very expensive;

Helikite
http://www.helikites.com/bird/

They have an example on their web page of how well their ballon works at a landfill site in keeping birds away.  Mine works equally as well in my location, using only cheap balloons ($1-$2 CDN).

You can do this yourself with locally purchased, mylar smiley face balloons, for only a couple of dollars.

This is how I modified the smiley face balloon;

I just let it float 10-12' over the grape arbor.  You have got to look at the landfill images though.

Later,
Tom
