Margaret,
There is an interesting reference to the problems of Silvereyes in Grape
Vineyards but it is difficult to get. Our Librarian could only find one
Australian Library that listed it on the computer listing. the Reference is:
Rooke, I.J. (198?) Research into the Biology of the Silvereye Leading to
Methods for Minimizing Grape damage in Vineyards of South-West Australia.
If you are unable to obtain a copy please contact me.

Greetings all, I am interested in creating habitats that will encourage
nectar eating birds & insects to "work" with grape growers. At present the
Mornington Peninsula(Vic) vineyards are covered with white netting to
"eliminate bird pests - ie grape eating birds).With this monoculture,
frequently olives or cypress are planted for wind and vision buffers. There
must surely be a more satisfactory management regime? Which
Agency/Consultant could assist? thanks, Margaret Bell
