I know how you feel......we had...ohhh such a shame!<br />I know how you feel......we had a beautiful apple tree in our old house that would sprout the most incredible amount of fruit. A couple of months before they were ripe the parrots would do reconnaissance flights over the yard. When they were ripe they would return in droves and we would sort of get along ok the tree was big enough for us to eat the lower branch apples and they would take the top ones we couldnt reach. It was when we met in the middle that things would get a little sticky trying to pick an apple with a parrot screeching in your face is not a pleasant experience. <br />But at least we got some apples 3 seasons of a heavily laden cherry tree we got to eat 2 cherries one each.....I would look at the tree in the morning full of cherries come back a couple of hours later no cherries not a sngle stalk or pip nothing. It was very disheartening.<br />I cursed those damn parrots every year but the funny thing was on black Saturday they flew to the apple tree for refuge and I stood outside in the searing heat spraying them in the tree with the garden hose it saved them and the tree.<br /><br />objects of whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789303258794066458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-43108485901551084922013-02-27T11:14:33.517+11:002013-02-27T11:14:33.517+11:00you obviously haven't seen some of our birds i...you obviously haven't seen some of our birds in australia at work! some are just purely destructive... many don't peck at food to eat it, and it's not done out of hunger... i don't know why they do it? pure destructiveness? sharpening their beaks? i've had birds (including cockatoos)just peck things off and leave them or gouge holes in them and leave them! it is heartbreaking after all the time, effort and money that goes into growing a crop... we are working towards netting everything on our place, but it is very $$ and i expect it will take many years to pay off the netting... sometimes i wonder if it's worth growing at all- and having been raised in a farming family i do so appreciate the work that goes into our amazing foodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-89708626903943571812013-02-26T21:55:04.813+11:002013-02-26T21:55:04.813+11:00How heart breaking for you guys :(

I know people use that for other pests and I think it would work with cockatoos as well (involves phases of the moon and burning a dead pest)- I have a friend who made one for foxes and only her chooks never get harmed. Another thing to try is chili spray on the trees/ leaves or maybe apples, as long as the flavour doesn't soak in?<br /><br />Lots of love xoxMiin and Niel, Made of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588603358630201087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-68134308355945477292013-02-24T14:39:53.383+11:002013-02-24T14:39:53.383+11:00aww that makes me so sad for you, all that hard wo...aww that makes me so sad for you, all that hard work :( I hope the early picking of the rest goes well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420625317681502230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-36971119973810462012013-02-24T14:34:35.465+11:002013-02-24T14:34:35.465+11:00I'm on your side!I'm on your side!Samantha Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512085955077668768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-12642567111449086042013-02-24T09:01:09.609+11:002013-02-24T09:01:09.609+11:00Oh Kate, that is heartbreaking.

I was not happy. The next year my son got a water pistol and squirted the cockies every time they came near the daffodils.I didn't really think it would work but it kept him busy so I left him to it. Not only did he save that year's daffodils but the cockies didn't come back the following years. Mine were the only daffodils in the street which didn't get destroyed. Apparently the birds have a good memory. I know you can't run around the orchard with a water pistol but it might be an idea for home gardeners.<br /><br />LyndaCrunchie's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561893477545578734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-88628539984153165892013-02-24T06:55:46.112+11:002013-02-24T06:55:46.112+11:00Feeling for you Kate.

The world's resources are for all. It would be a sad planet if we just lived here alone with no other animals. Man is far more greedy and destructive, yet we call every animal that is just doing what it does to get by greedy. Man lays waste everywhere he goes. He devastates forest, chops down habitation of both man and beast, is violent and wasteful.<br /><br />I do sympathise and empathise, really I do. I imagine it must be absolutely heartbreaking for you after all your hopes, dreams and hard work. But there is nothing you can do, or could have done. We share the planet and its resources. If there was no farming then people and animals would exist in numbers that could only be supported by what is available for them naturally (some suggest that the garden of eden was that time before agriculture). Now though, we have produced extra food for ourselves which have supported the increase of human beings and we have so many people and that makes extra demands on the land as we try and feed everyone. Possibly the earth was not meant to provide food for so many. It means now that we (you the farmers) have to work ever harder to produce the food for everyone, with all the pitfalls it entails.<br /><br />As an example of people's greed I give you this. In the UK at the moment supplies of certain baby formula has run out due to a shortage of a key ingredient, so production ground to a halt. Have people with excess supplies run to help babies literally left with no food (it's a comfort formula, intended for babies who can't accept any other)? No they have not - they are selling it on eBay for £100 a tin. Exploiting people's real concern and misery. That is what us human beings are like. That is true greed - not animals feeding themselves. I know it seems like they are monstrous and they are nibbling at them and not eating the rest and it seems wanton and purposeful and against you but honestly they don't know better and they don't know your investment in them, so they act as if it is a free for all. I don't suppose that helps any and my comment probably annoys you, I wouldn't leave it if I hadn't seen that so many people do care and have left kind comments - this isn't meant to be unkind either, and I care too. I know that sometimes it is them and us even if like me you love animals.<br /><br />I do hope they leave your apples alone now and go and eat somewhere else and that you are able to protect what you have left. It isn't easy, I understand that. In fact your story shows how difficult survival is for everyone. I hope you make some good come out of this for yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-26195630044264801072013-02-24T02:36:16.922+11:002013-02-24T02:36:16.922+11:00I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your apple...I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your apples...greedy birds indeed.
