G'day Peter and Scott,

If your looking to move them on just for a short time?
then yep noise could do it? but if you want them to
go,
permanently move elsewhere then you change the
environment that they are used to, i.e. change the
tree either shape or how hit appears to them. If you
work on the opposite principle of what Birds Australia
does then that should do the trick? Corella's I have
found dislike fast reflected sunlight, i.e. hanging
strips of crimped aluminium foil streamers in their
tree, yep it's theirs at present and you've lost
yours. BUT was it yours to start with? This quiet and
quite humble living fellows can take a lot of noise to
scare them away on a permanent basis! I'm jesting
about the quiet and humble :-]

Have you tired hanging some paper kites around the
place? I have seen used succesfully in the USA some
Hawk, Eagle and Kite lookalike models that work very
well but they seem to work best when the bird sound is
coupled with them, could this be done?

John A. Gamblin.

You could always try rain as a last resort eh? :-]

Peter-

If you're looking for a way to stop them roosting in
the tree, I think you will need something like 'bird'
scare, a noise-producing cartridge used at airports to
move birds. Its quite effective, at least in the short
term.

Of course you'll just be moving the problem somewhere
else.
