My blackbirds and mockingbirds are smart enough to know a plastic owl when they see one. My 2 "owls" from Lowes haven't stopped them from munching on my persimmons and muscadines. I move them every day also. Neither did CDs hung in the tree do anything. Netting works.

Subject: [NAFEX] Scare Tactics and a Reference Book - Recommendations?
I just saw a "prowler owl" with a four-foot wingspan to mount on a 1/2" pole to scare off bird pests (on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4314418476&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AMT%3A1) I was wondering if anyone has used this or something like this, and of course, how effective it is. [By the way, what's the opposite of "decoy?"]Mark Straka
I'm trying to read Fred Brison's Pecan Culture, but I'm having trouble getting through Chapter Two. It is laced with vocabulary like: pericycle, acropetal, xylem, parenchyma, schlerenchyma, medullary ray tissue, abscission, sessile flowers, bract, apical dominance, perianth, peduncle, and I could go on. I am in bad need of some reference work that will get me up to speed (hopefully illustrated!) and I'm soliciting recommendations right now. Thank you all very much.
I'm a rank beginning pecan orchardist.
