Hi,
I went to pick blueberries at a pick-your-own organic farm recently. They
were using a tape of bird distress calls to keep the birds away. The tape
contained the calls of 14 different species. It was kind of nice to pick
berry with bird sounds background that was reminded me of classic jungle
sounds, minus the monkeys.
Apparently, it worked quite well so I though it might be a useful bit of
information.

Hélène, zone3-4
