Weeds, pathogens, and animal pests are among the pests that pose a threat to the productivity of crops meant for human consumption. Bird-caused crop losses pose a serious and costly challenge for farmers. This work presents a survey on bird deterrent solutions for crop protection. It first introduces the related concepts. Then, it provides an extensive review and categorization of existing methods, techniques, and related studies. Further, their strengths and limitations are discussed. Based on this review, current gaps are identified, and strategies for future research are proposed.

ABSTRACT. Food habits, habitat selection, and hunting behavior of snowy owls (Nyctea scandiaca) wintering nearcalgary, Alberta were investigated during the winters of 1976-77 and 1977-78. The owls preyed extensively upon rodents. Gray partridge (Perdixperdix) were an important prey only in one winter. Dietary differences between years seem to be related to differences in weather. Male snowy owls preyed almost exclusively upon mice, whereas females utilized a wider range of prey, including much larger species. The owls appeared to respond to variation in habitat quality by selecting those habitats with the highest availability of prey. Snowy owls were successful in 43% of 51 attempts to capture prey. The success rate of attempts to capture birds,was lower than for small mammals. Juvenile females had lower success rates and longer prey-handling times than did adult females. hiboux. La perdrix grise (Perdixperdix) fut une proie importante durant seulement un hiver. Les differences observees entre les annCes dans l'alimentation semblent &re reliees &des differences climatiques. Le harfang des neiges male chassait presqu'exclusivement la souris, alors que les femelles jetaient leur devolu sur une plus grande variete des proies incluant des espbces physiquement plus imposantes. Les harfangs semblent repondre aux variations de la qualit6 de l'habitat en choisissant les habitats offrant la plus grande varidte de proies. Sur un total observe de 51 tentatives de capture d'une proie, les harfangs des neiges rkussirent dans 43% des cas. Ce taux de succes etait plus bas dans la cauture d'oiseaux aue des &its mammifbres. CornDarativement aux femelles adultes, les jeunes femelles eurent des taux de succbs inferieurs et prirent plus de temps pour maîtriser leur proie.Traduit par Pierre Bibeau, Arktos Inc., Montrkal.
