Bird Control for Agriculture

Birds typically eat their body weight in food every day. Unfortunately, bird pecks also damage the appearance of fruit and allow mold, yeast, bacteria and insects to cause secondary spoilage, such as Botrytis cinerea. Crop losses due to bird damage can range from 5% to 50% or more!

Get Birds Out of Vineyards, Crops and Orchards

Unlike harassment and hazing devices, such as cannons and pyrotechnics that attempt to startle or annoy birds into leaving, Bird Gard agriculture bird control products use the bird’s natural instincts to make them flee.  This was first demonstrated in the 1950's when zoologists from Pennsylvania State College used tape recordings of distressed starlings to eliminate vast bird roosts infesting trees and barns.  Today, Bird Gard bird control products for agriculture uses digital recordings of species specific distress and alarm calls, along with the sounds of their natural predators, broadcast through high fidelity weatherproof speakers to convince the birds they are under attack.  The direction, duration and timing of sounds are controlled by a microprocessor to give the impression there is danger all around.  Sophisticated random technology keeps birds from getting used to the sounds.

Birds act like they are hitting a wall when they come in range of Bird Gard, and immediately change direction to find other areas to feed.

 The Nature of Bird Control

Bird Gard agriculture bird control products were developed in collaboration with ornithologists at leading universities and agriculture extension agencies.  Numerous studies from Cornell University, University of California at Davis and others have proven Bird Gard's effectiveness at controlling birds in crops, orchards and other agricultural settings while increasing crop yield and lowering bird control costs.  Through continuous research and development into the nature and habits of nuisance and dangerous birds, Bird Gard has become the world leader in electronic agricultural bird control, protecting millions of acres of crops each year.
