Tiny falcons are helping keep the food supply safe on cherry farms

TL;DR


Summary:

- Tiny falcons are being used on cherry farms to help control pest birds that can damage the crops. These falcons, called American kestrels, are natural predators of smaller birds like sparrows and starlings.

- The kestrels are trained to scare away the pest birds without harming them. This provides a natural and environmentally-friendly way for farmers to protect their cherry crops from bird damage, without using harmful pesticides.

- The use of these falcons on cherry farms has been shown to be an effective way to reduce bird-related crop losses, while also supporting the local ecosystem by maintaining the natural balance between predator and prey species.
