Pallets in fields

[blueriver]

I have my suspicions. Florida is overrun with prowling cougars, like this example of cougarus floridiians: <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=360521"/> What chance would a monkey have? RIP Robert.

That's the girl that was at the party !!! I questioned if she was Indian .. I said how .. See said .. Me know how say when!!!

I take it you are not buying into the goose/scarecrow faction huh?

Nope.

Analysing sparc's new "information", the only landing deterrent the pallet erections could possibly pose would be to an extremely timid WWII glider pilot. Heck, there's not enough 'bold' surviving WWII glider pilots left to warrant preventing them from landing in a NJ field.

Either that, or the tree-trimming guy didn't really know why the pallets are there, and was the type that can't admit not knowing anything.

I'm not buying the bird deterrent thing at all. In fact, if geese perched, I bet we could find goose crap all over them pallets. :laughing:

I agree Dave. (this should eliminate at least one off of Steve's 'delusion count' by my reckoning)

It's a canard!

An excellent scientific critique. However, you are not completely unbiased in this matter. As I recall, your Antipodean Avian Abode theory claimed that the pallet structures were in place to attract our feathered friends. Photographic evidence of an avian presence near the pallet formations would strengthen your case (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Alas, there are no migratory gooses/geese in my part of the continent. There is only the Cape Barren Goose [Cereopsis novaehollandiae] which is a coastal Anatidae, found only on offshore islands with pasture, tussocks and scrub.

Being water-birds... they would require a source/body of water, not an open field in an unspecified area of NJ.

The often land in open fields to rest and eat, and poop.. mostly they poop a LOT.

It looks like I have to do all of the scientific field research. Here is clear evidence that the pallet formations are not effective in deterring avian trespass.

Note: The grass is often greener where there's a goose around. It often appears in rectangular patches.

Well, there's irrefutable evidence contradicting sparc's latest scientifically ambiguous contribution. Intrepidly done, Steve.

As I stated; it's a canard.

Yes. The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is known to be territorial and sets up a rectangular perimeter to defend her goslings. The droppings of the goose and her offspring provide an organic fertilizer; hence, the "greener the grass" within the perimeter.

I cannot accept your assertion that the pallet formation is a canard.

An airplane with horizontal stabilizing and control surfaces in front of supporting surfaces; also : a small airfoil in front of the wing of an aircraft that can increase the aircraft's performance.
