Abstract

: Pest birds cause substantial and costly damage to crops. Managing birds is complex because (1) they are highly mobile, (2) they habituate quickly to many deterrents, (3) some species provide benefits to farmers by deterring and consuming pest insects, rodents, and other birds, and (4) birds are highly valued by many people. Thus, farmers have many issues to consider when developing bird management strategies. Here I discuss recent work indicating that farmer adoption of sustainable agricultural practices is more likely when practices are effective, clear guidelines for implementation are available, implementation is relatively easy, and when practices are linked, in farmers’ minds and logistically, with other farm management practices. This manuscript draws together information about these factors for common bird management tactics to aid in the development of sustainable bird management strategies by farmers and the development of education programs for farmers by extension personnel and researchers. Such strategies will necessarily involve combinations of tactics, following the framework of Integrated Pest Management.

支持农民采用可持续的鸟类管理策略

有害鸟类对农作物造成巨大的损失。管理鸟类是复杂的，因为(1)它们是高度移动的，(2)它们对许多威慑物很快适应，(3)一些物种通过阻止和吃掉害虫、啮齿动物和其他鸟类为农民带来利益，(4)鸟类被许多人高度重视。因此，农民在制定鸟类管理策略时需要考虑许多问题。在这里，我将讨论最近的研究，这些研究表明，当实践行之有效、有明确的实施指导方针、实施相对容易，并且在农民的思想和逻辑上与其他农场管理实践相联系时，农民更有可能采用可持续农业实践。本文收集了有关这些因素的信息，用于常见的鸟类管理策略，以帮助农民制定可持续的鸟类管理策略，并通过推广人员和研究人员为农民制定教育计划。这种战略必然包括在虫害综合管理框架下的各种战术组合。

期刊介绍： Human–Wildlife Interactions (HWI) serves the professional needs of the wildlife biologist and manager in the arena of human–wildlife conflicts/interactions, wildlife damage management, and contemporary wildlife management. The intent of HWI is to publish original contributions on all aspects of contemporary wildlife management and human–wildlife interactions with an emphasis on scientific research and management case studies that identify and report innovative conservation strategies, technologies, tools, and partnerships that can enhance human–wildlife interactions by mitigating human–wildlife conflicts through direct and indirect management of wildlife and increased stakeholder engagement. Our intent is to promote a dialogue among wildlife professionals concerning contemporary management issues. As such, we hope to provide a repository for wildlife management science and case studies that document and share manager experiences and lessons learned.
