That HMR does some damage! I've never used one, maybe I should be looking at one....

I should have hired your services last year. I was growing Japanese millet for seed and trying to keep the sparrows away, I threw heaps of dead rabbits and hares around the paddock as the crop grew to try to attract hawks, to scare the birds away. No hawks, but lots of sparrows. The only thing that saved me from the Hitchcock nightmare was the guy down the road growing hemp, the birds loved that stuff and cleaned it up before hitting my millet.
