Quelea birds have been invading rice farms, especially in Auyo, Hadejia, Guri, Kaugama, Kafin-Hausa, Kirikasamma towns, among others.

An Agriculturist in Auyo, Tukur Dauda, said that the notorious birds’ hideout is in Baturiya Wetland and they usually launched there attack on farmlands by this time of the year.

“ Within two hours, an army of quelea birds can destroy one hectare of a rice farm.

“ Before the aerial spray begins, the only option we have is to distract the birds with a big net we use in covering our farms against them.

“ The length of the net is 100 metres and the width is about 20 to 30 meters; it can cover between two to three kilometres of farmland,” he said.
