Shooting starlings is illegal to everyone suggesting the shotgun, but as they say, Its only illegal if ya get caught doing it so middle of the night job I'd say
Just get a airsoft rifle and shoot them in the shed and not make no noise or damage to the shed and you’ll have good crack as well
It’s not illegal in Northern Ireland
Do that and them around the shed and it will scare them away that's what we do
@@jackt783 good craic is the most important part of it!
Thst must be a down south thing in northern ireland you can shoot them
Put in a radio and throw on a Pat Kenny there, that will drive all away 😉
😂😂😂😂 Ray Darcy not too far behind 😂
No Ray Darcy do the job for ya phil no problem
Matt cooper 🙈🤣🤣

Hahaha he’s just playing games when his sister is filling the bucket 🤦♀️
Great to see farmers sharing ideas and taking on what's works on other farms.
Them Cow Brushes Look like a great job. Id be interested in one myself small operation I know but it seems to be a good way to keep cattle clean with no labour
Love the led bar across top of the cab of the loader.
A low cost (and potentially equally useless to the kite) thing you could try for starlings would be to put up a couple of owl houses on trees near the houses. If you managed to get an owl into the yard it would catch some and scare away more of them.
Let some areas go wild too.
What a true joy for this old Irishman, thank you so very very much.
Great video phil, hope 2021 is a good year for all of you.
We have 65 angus weanlings along with the 120 dairy cows. To keep them clean we put down slat matts and by god the weanlings would be spotless aslong and the shit doesnt build up alot
Really love watching Farmer Phil 😂 it's something we look forward to at the end of day 😙. Were still in lock down we hate it .We can't travel anywhere .We love Ireland 🌈 that's were we are going when we can travel . love to Ireland 🌈💚🌈🌈🌈🌈.We think you work so hard always looking after your cows . Happy New Year 💘☺️.
Let it never be said you take it easy anyway Phil, busy day for New Year's Eve!!
We set a banger up Phil and we have no problem with starlings now. We have 2 brushes for the bullocks and heifers one each. It makes a big difference to them being clean. Interesting video Phil
We had problems with scarlets too but we put a high vise jacket and it worked so if u try that u might find some results
Good Morning, Phil! Thank you for the wonderful information. Wow, that was some driving with the stairs in tow. Nice job, Phil. The cattle certainly have grown since the last time weighed. Adrian (I Farm We Farm) put in LCD lights in his shed and the difference was remarkable.
Wind brake helps we put it up on a farm and it did a good job
Great stuff Phil. 👍🏻 ThatShear bucket is some job no actin the bolox changin attachments
If and when you replace the broken strip lights in the bires, led strip lights are great they are more expensive than the standard tubes but they pay for themselves after a year or 2 because of the money you save on electricity
We have a cow brush which is automatic and it’s very good there coats shine, like you have shaved their hair off
We have brushes in our yard it keeps all our cows and animals clean.I would highly recommend it.
If your scrapes are anything like mine they’ll be very worn out and theirs spaces in between the track and the concrete and they wear away after ab10 years of use, i welded 4 mm plate on to lift them up and they work all the time now and if it doesn’t swith over at the end weld a metal rod on the under side ofthe main scraper to lift it up a few mm and itll work a treat, we have them in our dairy barn and I’ve done more welding on them than the factory.
The cow brush are a great job apparently even for the beef cattle Great video Phil 👍🤟
we use to tie dead magpies upside down beside meal bins. that seemed to work for us. not sure if it would for starlings
Extra wieghts on the automatic scraper would eliminate alot of the tripping. I was scraper surfing for past ten years til the weights consigned that sport to a distant memory.
Hahah 😂 great advice 👍🏻
hope the new year brings lots of good things to u phil maybe new machinery
We have a brush for are beef cattle and it dose keep them clean and there not as aggressive if u no what I mean they don’t get agitated when your in with them 🤙
11:53 when u pulled out the phone I started laughing😂
I've the same problem with 3 scrapers pushing into an open slurry pit with dairy cows. Some waste of time with milking cows during the spring. They'd be rotten. I've put up with it long enough and slurry channels is the only job I reckon. At least it'll never build up if electricity is gone or in the hard frost 10 years ago ,the scrapers froze solid and 4 days of 100 cows dung built up. Some balls to get going again.
To get rid of starlings try put burnt oil on the rafters
Great video Phil. You got a lot done in one day. I think there's just too much food for the starlings to eat in ur yard. U would need a real hawk to scare them away.
My neighbour got bird scarer from North great job nothing in yard I fined name plenty work in beef farm this time of year
Great video Phil that pit is tidy 😎
Phil, Green laser light will keep the starlings out. You can get a little handheld pen cheaply €15 or an auto unit cost ya €400 odd.
Great video Phil
Give yourself a break and get someone to fix your straw blower to take some of the workload off you.
Good video, like to see the cattle work
Phil the is a bolt u can put on scaper and it stop tripping
Fragrance free Poo! That's a result it itself. Cattle love those cow brushes, great viewing watching them use it. Just set up the camera and let them entertain us, I reckon the bulls would be mad for it. Loft is looking great in the workshop. It might not feel like you have achieved much but those were some big winter projects and in a short space of time so I think you can mark that up as a success.
Hello mags, How're you doing?
bonjour encore un énorme pouce bleu pour cette belle vidéo un bon courage a vous pour la suite 😍👍👍👍
Great video Phil , Auto scrapers are a nightmare , Don’t tell me just ask me 😂
3:40 need to get an angled plough type thing to push to silage up to save all that forward and reversing
Or a brush & shovel. Lol, not much manual labour on some farms..
Could have made something from the scrap.. 😁
Happy new year to u to lad......hope u and d family have a good 2021. At least beef prices is better than last year. Maybe u might put a ring on Liv's ginger this year because she's definitely a keeper and not a goal keeper!! U done well for urself there
Great video Farmer Phil 👍🏻
great video! love it.
Ido it is the best thing ever so handy
Great 👍 video farmer 👩🌾 Phil keep the family safe 👍👍👩🌾👩🌾🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧😷🚜🚜
Great video Phil
You probably have an idea of this already but if ya dehorn those cattle you’ll be amazed at how they’ll thrive better
Great video hope your all OK im from wales
Sounded like u were in an episode of Fr. Ted when u were f**** the starlings coming out of the Castle 😂🤠
on my family farm we removed the skraepers because we put a new shed up
Tell Jessica that she should wear her blue overalls with her blue wellies and it will go well together
We have the same problem with birds and we just shot a hood few and hung them up in the shed and it’s some job Tis only the odd few that have the balls to come back🤣🤣
Hey lad unless you guys have moved a lot further south it ain't 8 am cause at 8 am on the 1st of January it was still dark here in Wicklow .
Its bright at 8am down in waterford
Your right must’ve been closer to 9 than 8
FARMER PHIL you beef men only think you work hard, us dairy men especially winter milkers have the cows milked in the dark mornings and evenings this time of year.
Get a bent bar and put it around the drinker to stop the shitein
Nice one Phil.
The starlings are a nuisance for sure.
Maybe a bring in someone with a trained hawk to let them know they are not welcome🦅. On the other hand, have you ever seen a starling murmuration, a remarkable phenomenon, check it out on CZcams. I agree with you about the straw blower and the dust, it couldn't be great. Could you not drive in with the loader and shake out the bale?
Best wishes to all at team Phil for 2021
Too awkward a shed to drive into and shake out a bale
Enjoyed
At lest you got your workshop cleared out
nice vid phil
Why is there a yearling in the passage way for one of the sheds. He looks to be getting in the way😂
Welcome to Ireland where we are not perfect and things are left on long finger prob injured or smaller then he turns free range grate job not to be bullied
Make a weight for the scrapers wont trip as easy then on the side of the middle part of the scraper
Can't wait for the maize
Fair play, your pit face is immaculate
Can you do a summary of grades when you sell cattle....also maybe a figure on purchase vs sale price ...best and worst and breeds??
This is basically like my day in March/April time for lambing. I love doing lambing, so rewarding, but not for the faint hearted.
Phil sister will be a loss if she heads off. She is a grate back up. How many wagons to you use in a day. Late watching late as usual. But always enjoy watching. Hope new year is good to you and yours 👍
Just wondering where you got the Closamectin from Phil? 😉😂😂
Great video as usual. Ye must out pipin slurry now.... 💪
1 way to get rid of starlings is kill a few then they will go then come back after ages but kill a few more then that's how to get rid of them
hello from america!
Where did ye get the Closemectin?!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think you mentioned it!!!!!!!!😂
Good video even tho i didnt watch it yer
Why not make a thing like Tom pemberton. To push. Your Silage in be quicker. And easier Phil
Phil is the diet feeder fixed ?
time to take up hawking 🤣🤣 Send bro out to fly the hawk and drone ha. Any one local to you that does it might want to fly the birds for free?
Great video Phil just want to know we're did you get your kit i could do with a few for the yard myself birds are destroying the feed .?
I think it was lenahans online
Get a few cats for the starlings, keep them a little hungry. Would suggest a rescue as they often have feral cats that they can't rehome as pets but are great ratters. Come spayed too.
We have feral cats on the farm as is
U should put brushes on each of the beams
Why don't yous park the feeder closer to the pit so you don't have so much driving/turning to do? If I were you, I'd reverse the feeder in so the back of it is facing the pit, then you'd only have a quarter turn to do and not a complete 180. Save a bit of time and less work for yourself.
Bad habit I suppose we used to feed molasses and the tank is the other side of the feeder
@@FARMERPHIL3690 understandable. Old habits die hard. Must be why so many farmers son's have a hard time trying something different 😂
Hi,
We farm in the NOS and many years ago we had a massive starling problem every beam in the shed and trusses were covered in Starlings. I got so frustrated one day I got my sledge hammer and began to hammer one of the main supports the noise in the shed was amazing as the whole shed started to vibrate. The starlings went crazy flying into the walls etc trying to escape from the shed
next day there were half the number of starlings, I did it again and the next day there were 10% of the starlings, I did it again and that was like 20 years ago and I have never seen a starling in the shed since and they do not even land on the shed roof. It may be worth a try with your problem, I was really mad and fed up with them so I did really whack the standcions of the shed.
Regards,
Peter Williamson
I should have stated that I did this when it was dark and there were no animals in the shed (except starlings nad maybe rats). The problem had been so bad that it was known locally in the farming community and a farmer asked me many years later how I solved the starling problem.
We have a gas banger going off every 15 mins to keep them disturbed but they keep coming back
Try an ole cd on a peace of cord
Hope yer paying Jessica well. She's a mighty worker. So funny directing bro. Is it me or has bro shot up recently
Well
Why do ye have a wealing in the passageway for one of the cattle shedsu
He was an escapee for the night
Even though I’m a foul mouthed farmer like yourself I still find it funny to see it on CZcams
You could put the bird kite up higher but I don't know
How do you find the ursus tractor. We had one & we had plenty of trouble with it
I've a Ursus 475 and never gave a days bother. Makes a fine yard tractor.
Where about a in Ireland are u from because we can sort out the starlings for u
Hard to bate the hill climb phill
When’s the next workshop vid
Another gud video Phil are you’s going to have the 6290 in the shed fixed n ready for summer
Yes started on it today
Nice can’t wait to see the videos on it to see it back up n running nice tractor them 6290
is there some sort of cheese clothe type material or lightweight bird netting (like they use for berry bushes) that can be hung to keep the birds at bay? still gives ventilation but no birds allowed?
It works until the cattle get a hold of it and chew it up😂
@@FARMERPHIL3690 pesky buggers. lol
Yer making a lot of work for yerselfs
A line of electric wire across the barrier stops them jumping out
Is it allowed in Ireland?
Greetings from Germany
@@christianelbracht2830 you can do anything here so long as you are not caught ..............
No smell , slurry? Covid I think 🤔
Yr sister definitely good at tractor driving and revising with fed on.... that silage bucket looks like the 80s game pacman eatting dots lol
What the little car in workshop
did putting the bugs in the slurry make it any easier to agitate than before ....?
The bugs prevent the crust from building up as much so should make it easier yes, would be hard to notice the difference tbh as it was probably agitated last a year ago
A little bit easier but the shed wasn’t fully agitated as the cattle poo is like glue
Them black metal cats with marbles in the eyes ?
New staw blower
Your sheds seem dark and low what was the name of slurry additive you used
Nothing can be done about having old sheds without knocking them down and building them again, not enough money in beef to do that tbh. it was Nova-q that make the additive
Slurry additives are excellent!
Is that a battery cut off on the front of the red Massey?
it is yes
