Bird Scare Guns

Farmers use scare guns to deter birds from crops and fruit trees, especially when fruit is ripe and ready to pick.

Council works with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to regulate the use of scare guns in Victoria under the Environment Protection Act 1970. 

Council refers to the EPA's Noise control guidelines to resolve noise complaints or to avoid possible noise nuisance.

If you have any concerns about bird scare guns, please contact Council on (03) 5772 0333.
