Seagulls pecking at wrapped bales

[paul&mandy]

Anyone else have trouble with them on bales. These mainly are wrapped in green. Could that be worse? My guesses they can see bugs on the green more?
Having to re wrap most of them.

Green sheet over the top of them ....

We get them pecking and standing on bales as the fall out of the wrapper. It’s a complete pain. Might wrap at the stack this year. Wrap colour makes no difference although I have heard of using 1 green and 1 black roll

Slugs climb up bales at night after rain ..

i thought this was a thread about seagulls eating chips?
Wrapped bakes?

Colour doesn’t seem to make adifference. Rooks peck a small, neat hole. Seagulls are worse & appear to rip the wrap open.

Tape a cd to them.

Ifarmwefarm YouTube man paints the tops with white crosses and dots. I was wondering about two different colours of wrap on the wrapper at the same time to create stripes? Crows in the field get ours. They are tipped on end so the wrap is a bit thicker. I’m hauling now and there must be 500 plus crows.

In the interest of not blowing up my mind, I've edited the thread title as I too struggled with baked seagulls (they also don't half sh!t when minded)

[Chae1]

Maybe he meant baking powder!?

I've heard it makes them explode.

I've heard it makes them explode.

Does he also suggest feeding marshmallows to moles !!

Find a dead one and hang it up

 

[egbert]

If this is in the stack, place some old tyres on top layers.

If it's around the field where they've been dropped.....stop doing it that way!

They'll run so far away.

They'll run so far away.

Pesky seagulls seem to cause chaos everywhere they go…

Never had a problem with em, but we do wrap the old fashioned way at the stack.
