Birds Are Already Here: Don’t Let Them Take Your Hard Work Away

Avitrol Corportation | August 29, 2025

Migration season isn’t coming-it’s already here. Across fields, pastures, and feedlots, birds are arriving in large numbers, searching for easy food and shelter. For farmers, ranchers, and crop managers, that means one thing: your investment is at risk.

The Cost of Migrating Birds to Agriculture

Flocks of starlings, blackbirds, pigeons, and sparrows don’t just pass through quietly. They settle in, feed aggressively, and can devastate your bottom line in days.

Feed Losses: In cattle operations, feed bunks attract thousands of starlings daily, leading to significant waste and contamination.
Crop Damage: Migrating flocks strip away ripening grains, berries, and other high-value crops, cutting directly into yields.
Health Risks: Birds introduce bacteria, parasites, and diseases that threaten both livestock and workers.
Infrastructure Damage: Nesting birds clog barns, equipment, and irrigation systems, driving up maintenance costs.

Every bushel lost, every pound of feed spoiled, and every sick animal translates into real dollars off your bottom line.

Why “Waiting It Out” Isn’t an Option

Many producers make the mistake of thinking the birds will move on quickly. The reality? Once a flock discovers a reliable food source, they return day after day-bringing more with them. By the time they’re gone, the damage is done.
