Falconry
For centuries man and falcons have been partners. As far back as 4000 years ago, man and falcon cooperated to the benefit of both. Modern falconry is an extension of that long term relationship. United States falconers are licensed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and state Department of Fish and Game or Department of Wildlife to handle and train birds of prey.
Falconry based bird abatement
Using falconry based techniques, hawks and falcons are trained to chase and harass pest birds. The pest birds will leave the protected area when the decision is to eat or be eaten.
Staff
Our falconry based bird abatement staff are trained and licensed falconers, with a minimum two-year apprenticeship, our staff has learned to understand the motivation of the pest birds and use falconry techniques to discourage pest birds searching for feeding and nesting opportunities.
Opportunities for Falconers
Airstrike Bird Control, Inc. occasionally has needs for additional staff, generally on a project-basis during harvest seasons. If you are a licensed and experienced falconer, please contact us.
Our rates are competitive, and we offer an unprecedented level of support.
