How does it Work?
Our system consists on a kite hooked to the top of a 6 Meters telescopic pole.
The heart of our system is a Bird-like raptor (Eagle, hawk) always altering its flight (Speed, Height) on top of its pole. At the slightest breeze of wind (Less than 2km/h), it will take-off and fly randomly. It mimics the flight of a raptor such as a buzzard, a hawk, a falcon and will intimidate the pest birds and defend your crops, fruit trees, garden, vineyard…
Unlike fixed scarecrow systems, the scaring device SCARYBIRD flies randomly, pest birds are therefore not getting used of its presence because they see it as a hunting predator. The 6 meters Height of the post are the minimum height for effectively scaring birds.

Pest Birds
Raven encompass several species of crow or jackdaw, it belongs to the species corvus (corvidae). It is a large bird with black plumage, this species is a regularly listed on the pest animals lists. The Raven Rook is one of the most harmful pest birds species found in Europe. As you will see, as often when you want to keep birds away, crow solving problem will not be easy since this bird is clever!
A team of researchers from Oxford (UK) published in 2009, a study in the journal PLoS One online, which suggests that the crows are animals with a form of analytical intelligence.
The study was conducted on crows, which in the wild, are already capable of using tools in order to reach food. An experiment conducted in 2002 had already shown that a raven, in captivity, was able to spontaneously invent tools based on need, again for the direct purpose of feeding.
The use of tools in sequence – take a tool to use another tool – has been observed in many primates and crows, according to the research conducted in New Zealand.
A team of Oxford, in turn, led to a new study in seven crows in captivity. These crows have been tested on a series of tasks requiring the use of three tools in a sequence to reach the food. The birds had to use a small tool, slide the tool in more so to be able to catch a third even bigger tool and finally reach a piece of food, if not unattainable.
Five crows were successful, including four on the first try, without any prior training. And a precise analysis of the birds’ behavior shows that they did not act randomly. When a bird rested a tool to take another, he always chose more than the previous tool.
This study demonstrates competence ever observed in birds, but also emphasizes the importance of a cautious approach in the comparison of cognitive skills. Intelligent behavior can be detected without necessarily very high mental faculties.
Crow problem solving is not an easy job!
At first here is an analysis of this pest bird:
Crows are generally located near villages, in the citie because its easy for them to find food!, motorway service areas…
Crow feeds on seeds and crops; it is also a predator in outdoor poultry farms. It can also eat garbage and carrion.
Nests are grouped (which is not the case for the pigeon).
The period of nesting is April May in Europe.
To get rid of crows, you can use a green laser in the evenning (not working day), or use a strong ton having warned the population that is also fed up with the constant croaking. Some municipalities are even considering cutting trees!

How to Scare Birds Away When Starlings Attack?
Starlings belong to the Stumidae species. The most harmful is European starling (Stumus Vulgaris) that has invaded most parts of the globe. This adaptable bird is considered as a pest bird in all countries where it has been introduced.
European Starling is an omnivore and is particularly fond of fruit: cherries, olives, grapes … and standing crops. The Starlings are likely to form groups of several hundred or even thousands of individuals. Because of their numbers, they can cause severe damage in a short time on orchards, vegetable crops and vineyards. During Concentrations in winter, this bird is sources of troubles in cities.
The ever-present Starling! Over-protective and sometimes downright mean, they can be seen swooping cats, dogs or even people that get too close to their nest. You may not even know you have Starlings, as they can imitate a variety of songbirds. It is only when they go zipping past your head that you may notice they are there at all.
When they become problematic, people want to know how to scare birds away. Sometimes air cannons are used, but they are not feasible in an urban environment. Imagine the passersby jumping every time one goes off. Or worse yet, the police would be getting regular calls about gunfire. That would not be good on any level.
Starlings lay four to six eggs in a nest made from grass, twigs and straw. Given their aggressive behaviour, it’s no wonder they are increasing in numbers. Other birds won’t go near them, and predators are in danger of getting pecked. They are relentless when their nest is threatened. They will take turns at swooping until the threat is gone.
When asking how to scare birds away, it is important to know the natural predators. As with other small birds, owls, eagles and falcons are on the predator list. Starlings will not challenge a large bird, especially one they know is a danger to them. Setting a decoy is only a short-term fix, as they will quickly realize the plastic bird isn’t a threat.
One of the most efficient ways of how to scare birds away is to use a bird scarer. It is unpredictable, large and quiet. By placing it in problem areas, the slightest breeze will set it in motion. It will fly, then dip as if attacking. The Starlings will eventually get the hint and move on to other areas. It will take more than a time or two, but the results will be worth it. When the starling has moved on, the gentler songbirds will move back in.
Sparrow Trap
Sparrow belongs to the species of passeridae. The pest species most encountered is the house sparrow. It was unintentionally introduced into the world by man.
In Countryside, the house sparrow feeds mainly on seeds and grains, it is very fond of oats and wheat, but it can be opportunistic and adapts to find his food when he lives in the city.
Sparrows are also well known for contaminating food with their droppings, which contain many diseases. This species is protected in some areas, that is why people are looking for anti-sparrow solutions that are not hazardous to the bird.
The sparrow has a song that can be music to one’s ears, but the bossiness of their nature will often interfere with the nesting of native songbirds. Those who provide nesting boxes for chickadees, bluebirds and other songbirds are often upset when a sparrow takes over the nest instead.
Sparrows are prolific breeders, and can have up to four broods of four to five eggs in a season. They are often seen evicting other birds from an occupied nest box, which creates problems for the less common birds. A sparrow trap is often used to trap and release the birds elsewhere. It is an effective method of control, and not one that is prohibited in many areas. The downside to trapping and releasing is it does not eliminate a problem, it only relocates it.
Sparrows are rarely seen in a forest, but are abundant in towns, cities and farmyards. It appears as if humans are a sparrow trap in themselves, by providing the food and nesting conditions sparrows favour. By feeding other birds seeds such as corn, millet and sunflowers, humans are also encouraging the sparrow to enjoy a free meal. They do not depend on humans to eat, but are quick to pass up hunting for bugs when there is a feeder full of seed ready for the taking.
As little as they are, sparrows are aggressive. They will often attack other birds in order to claim nesting sites or food sources. Natural predators such as owls and hawks will offer some pest control, but a sparrow trap or other deterrents are often more effective. The key is to provide an unpredictable scare-tactic, as they will quickly realize they are not in any grave danger if there is consistency in the method used.
Employing a variety of control measures will be most effective in decreasing the numbers of problem birds. Removing food sources, discouraging nesting and introducing natural predators (or simulations) will have better results than one method alone. One such natural predator simulator can be found here.
Discover the Ultimate Seagull Scarer
Gull and SeaGull belong to the species of Laridae (Larus). These birds are seabirds found mainly on European shores.The gulls are considered pests due to their loud and aggressive behavior as well as their droppings.
It is increasingly common for Gulls attack duck farms, they can peck and trample crops. Moreover, their droppings are a source of disease for farm animals. They are also a source of troubles in ports and airports.
Where was the last place you saw a gull? If you live along a coastline, you can safely say along the ocean. But, like many people, there isn’t a coastline within hundreds of miles. So why is it that the gulls are so well known?
Firstly, they are not fussy in where they live. They will seize any opportunity, especially if there is a free meal in sight. Some types are more versatile than others, and are quite content eating fries as opposed to fish. Sure, it’s cute when one comes along to see what you have in hand, but feeding it will bring an onslaught of squawking, flapping of wings and the ever-dreaded gull droppings. Gross!
If left alone, gulls will quickly make an area their home, which can pose threats to humans inhabiting the same area. Not only that, they will eat the eggs of other birds which they see as a threat to their food supply. Every creature has its place in the food chain, but gulls tend to overstay their welcome.
Seagull scarerHuman intervention is often needed in high population areas. Gulls do have natural predators, with eagles being on that list. As an urban area may not have eagles, a sea-gull scarer is the next best thing. It is as large and intimidating as a real eagle, and that alone will help in controlling the gull population.
Other predators such as skunks, raccoons, coyotes and dogs will keep numbers in check, but only to a degree. How many coyotes have you seen in a parking lot of a fast food restaurant? By utilizing a seagull scarer, you are not left with bodies to dispose of (as with other forms of control). The gulls will simply find another place to go – perhaps one with natural predators.
Methods such as air cannons have been tried, but gulls are smart and will quickly realize it is all a trick. Any predictable (timed) control method is not going to work for long. What you need is a seagull scarer which is as unpredictable in flight and appearance patterns as their natural predators. Have you ever seen an eagle with a stopwatch planning the next attack?
Magpie Deterrent
Magpies are considered to be a part of the crow family, and the Eurasian magpie is thought of as being one of the most intelligent animals in the world.
You will also find that the magpie is an omnivore, meaning that they eat both insects and vegetables however the reason why they are so hard to get rid of is because they are so clever. Magpies will often see signs of danger and they will react accordingly, but when it comes to setting up home and survival, they are experts in the field. You may have tried several magpie deterrent solutions in the past but if none of them have worked, this isn’t something that you should feel bad about.
When trying to get rid of magpies, you need strategy, skill and knowledge, and that’s exactly what you get when you purchase our Scary Bird product.
The only real way to drive away magpies is to make them feel threatened, so much so that they feel too insecure to react. Scary bird does exactly this, and it is fully designed to deter even the most curious of magpies. If you want to use this magpie deterrent then you need to make sure that you change its position or remove it every couple of days. Magpies are very intelligent creatures and if you have particularly stubborn magpies then you may find that they watch and wait to see if the dominant bird leaves. Obviously with the Scary Bird, this isn’t going to happen so try to randomise or change its position now and again to out-smart them.
After a couple of days, the magpies will be sure to leave and you shouldn’t experience any problems again, any time soon. Take a look at our magpie deterrent today to see how it works.
Get Rid of Pigeons
Pigeons belong to columbidae species (Columba), they are found on all continents. They feed on seeds but also waste. Ring dove (Wood Pigeon) is the most important species classified as pests in the countryside; it most often attacks the colza, protein and leguminous crops and you defenitely want to keep birds away when you speak about pigeons.
City pigeons are often overpopulation with very acidic droppings which causes deterioration of houses or buildings; it is often in this case the wood Pigeon.
Pigeons also create problems on aviation safety (presence on Airfields).
Pigeons are widespread throughout the world. They will inhabit barns, attics, window ledges and any other spot they can fit into. While some find them to be an interesting bird, most find them to be an annoyance.
Their ability to adapt to a variety of locations is what keeps them prolific in numbers. Although their main diet is seeds and fruits, they will not hesitate to feed on bread crumbs or other food left by humans. Once they realize there is a supply of free food, they will stick around. Their droppings make a big mess, which can lead to airborne bacteria and disease.
Most people don’t want to harm them, they just want the birds to be relocated. When it is time to get rid of pigeons, poisoning is not an option. Doing so will cause the animals that eat them (cats and dogs, for example) to be poisoned as well. The best method is to introduce a predatory bird to control their population, but that is not always feasible.
The next best method to get rid of pigeons is to utilize a scare-tactic – replicate a natural predator, such as a falcon. When the pigeons feel threatened, they will move on to a more suitable location. Oftentimes that location is a grain elevator where there is plenty of grain to feed on. As the pigeon is adaptable, they will quickly make an elevator their new home. Barns are also on their list of favorite housing, as grain is usually present.
Pigeons do not pose an immediate threat to humans or animals, as they are not predatory by any means. Their ability to multiply readily is the biggest threat, and when not controlled they will soon have several inches of droppings on window ledges, in eaves and on cars parked below their nesting sites. As much as they are an interesting bird to watch, they are also a problem in many areas.
If you want to get rid of pigeons that are causing problems in your area, remember the predator factor. Tricking them into thinking they are going to become another bird’s lunch will send them packing.
