Cherries
 This year dad was ready to cut down the cherry tree because the birds get in the cherries and we hardly get any. But he came up with one last idea to save the cherries. We copied a bird sounds from a bird sound book unto the computer and then burned a CD. We had falcon, different owl, eagle and hawk calls. All predator bird calls. We put a CD player in the tree and turned on the calls really loud. The very first few hours all the animals were afraid. The cats were in the tack room looking out the window. All the chickens were in the barn huddled together. And the dog was sitting right by the tree looking up! And this year we had tons and tons of cherries and there were hardly any bird pecked ones at all! They were so juicy and good.  |
