Shitballs, any idea how many kg seed/ha for a straight sunnie crop?

to plant ?
generally around 35 - 45,000 seeds per ha ( ( 3 - 4 seeds / metre, on metre rows ) for a dry land crop. Or about 2 kg / ha, depending on seed size
or harvest yield ?
Where the photo was taken, maybe 2 t / ha or more, but the crop is quite patchy as they didn’t get an even establishment at planting due to marginal moisture conditions & heat, & then suffered a bit of fungal diseases when it started raining again in March

We dug up Australian weather records back to 1838 and found snow is falling less often
Older records can tell us a lot about Australia’s pre-industrial climate, before the large-scale burning of fossil fuels tainted global temperature records.

Are you allowed to shoot them?
That's another thing you do on a big scale compared to here, pests of biblical proportions. At least here we can scare the pigeons off onto a neighbours field.

all native wild life, reptiles, mammals, birds are protected by law, so in theory no . . .
to be fair, a lot of the shooting is about keeping them on the move & not getting to complacent around the gas guns, more so than actual outright slaughter & elimination.
Just like your pigeons, it’s about getting them to move on . . .
the two biggest issues he has is 1) - the fields are next to a creek & a tree line ( big old nesting trees ) & 2) - his are the only sunnies around that I know of for maybe 50 - 100 km. There isn’t even any grain sorghum crops around to divert their attention for a while . . .
