IIRC, wineries use recordings of birds in distress or some such thing to
keep the birds away.  My grandfather had a stuffed wildcat that worked
very well as a scarecrow type thing.  There is always netting or clouches. 

Personally, I wonder how well falcons would work.  Probably not well
enough, and too much work keeping them.
