Wild Pigeons Destroy Crops VICTORIA (CP) -- Band. tailed! pigeons are on the black list of southérn Vancouver Island cherry growers, Flocks of the wild pigeons, na tive to southwestern British Col.| umbla, ate between 50 and 80 per cent of the yleld of some cherry crops this year, J. H. Harris, tree « fruit re-| searchre at the Dominion exper- imental station at nearby Saan. ich, said it is the first time birds | have been known to damage! orchards when the fruit is form. ing, He added that it is also the first time he has known them to raid cherry trees after cleaning up holly and arbutus berries | The pigeons descended on the orchards in flocksof 300 or more An autopsy on one of the birds showed it had eaten 60 green cherries. | ARRIVED EARLIER Experts were unable to ¢xplain| this behavior except to say that the band-tailed pigeons arrived earlier than usual and at a time when the cherries were at the| stage where they might appe: | to the hirds Fruit-growers were prohibited from shooting the birds because they are protected under an in. ternational agreement between! Canada and the United States, Officials recommended fre. quent gunshots to frighten them away but that would have re. quired growers to keep men waiting for hours. A carbid cannon, set to explode at regula intervals, is used for similar purposes in England.
