Summary
Rainbow lorikeets are turning Australian strawberry farms into their personal buffet, wiping out crops worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. After scarecrows and noise failed, farmers are now testing a robotic peregrine falcon drone called RoBird — a sleek, battery-powered mimic that scares birds without harming wildlife. Already proven at airports and mines, the drone’s Queensland trial could be the breakthrough farmers desperately need, offering a humane, targeted solution to a problem costing Aussie agriculture over $300 million annually.
