that would be a mess to handle.
How about something that would vigorously wave a flag and chime every

Not long ago, some folks hung their unsolicited CD's to rattle and flash in the
wind. works yill the birds adapt.

Commercial growers (no Close neighbors) use carbide cannons set to fire

As you seem to have only a small number of berry trees, you might try

summer rain where you are, you could put the player in a plastic sandwich
bag to keep it dry.
