the main birds that cause damage to grapes, sweet cherries, and
blueberries. While many people are aware that scavengers such as
grackles, gulls and starlings are a nuisance, few think of the beautiful
robin, oriole, or mockingbird as a problem for grape and tender
fruit growers. However, it is important to know which birds give
problems. Figure 1 shows some of these bird pests for easier identification.
