The Phoenix Wailer IIIa

'The Phoenix Wailer Mk IIIa operating in the first scientific trial, in 1998, to deter flying foxes predating a peach and nectarine orchard, near Lismore, NSW, Australia. The owner estimated that the wailer reduced losses from 50% to less than 5%. Another orchard, near Kempsey, NSW, has confirmed this effectiveness result over the last three years'

"I would like to inform you that we have been very pleased with the Phoenix Mark III electronic bird deterrent system we purchased from you three years ago. Our system uses eight speakers and covers our brine ponds, an area of approximately 35 acres. Since installation, reports of migratory waterfowl and other animals entering the area have greatly decreased. The Mark III has proven to be a very effective bird deterrent system."

"......I am happy to report that since the unit was installed last spring, the raven problem in our substation appears to be solved. The unit was installed easily and quickly, requiring a minimum of labour and seems to perform its function quite effectively. From the results we have been, I would not hesitate in recommending the use of the Mark III to others who may be experiencing similar problems."

"We installed the Mark III Wailer in a seven acre vineyard......I can honestly say with the 25 ton of grapes harvested the birds were lucky to have gotten a bushel.....We are looking forward to trying the Mark III in a vineyard of Vidal grapes which are going to be left in the vineyard until mid December for the production of ice wine."

"In 1993 we lost about 60% of the variety due to bird damage. In 1994 when we purchased your Mark II we only lost about 10%. Then in 1995 we upgraded to the Mark III and that solved the problem completely......This year we expanded by purchasing additional speakers to cover a larger area. To date, we are coveing about 20 acres without any bird problems. Thanks for your help in solving this serious problem completely."
