If You Ever Need to Scare Birds

As it turns out, some birds are scared of shiny things. If you have a fruit tree that you need to protect, you can dangle some aluminum foil from the tree. It will be a deterrent for those birds that just want to feast on those fruits. All the light-sensitive pests will want to steer clear of your shiny tree.

Random fact about birds: The chicken is the most common species of bird in the world. Kiwis are endangered and flightless birds that live in New Zealand. They lay the largest eggs of any bird in the world. Oh, and the Bee Hummingbird is the smallest living bird in the world; it’s length is just 5 cm (or 2 inches).
