Episode Details

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.
