Bird and flying fox damage survey

Have your say!

You have an opportunity to direct research and development into bird & flying fox damage in horticulture and viticulture by completing the following survey. The information you provide will enable government and industry organisations to more effectively allocate research resources to crops and regions most affected by birds and flying foxes. It will also allow targeted development on the aspects of pest bird and flying fox management that you believe are most relevant.

To effectively manage pest birds and flying foxes, information is required on the species involved, the damage they cause, and the costs and effectiveness of control. This survey, funded by the National Feral Animal Control Program (Natural Heritage Trust) and NSW Department of Primary Industries (Agriculture), is supported by industry bodies including; Horticulture Australia, Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation, Apple and Pear Australia Limited, South Australian Apple and Pear Growers Association and the Australian Nut Industry Council.
