Unlike netting, spikes, or sound deterrents, falconry leverages a predator-prey instinct that pest birds historically fear, making it highly effective where traditional tools falter. Explore how falconry works on the Home page summary of services.

Falconry bird abatement targets flocks of starlings, sparrows, pigeons, seagulls, crows, and grackles — especially in open agricultural and landfill settings.

Key industries include vineyards, orchards, blueberry farms, landfills, food processing facilities, industrial plants, commercial spaces, and refineries. See the full services list here: Our Services overview.

Trained birds are flown prior to and during harvest to create a “bubble of space” that pest birds instinctively avoid, reducing fruit loss and crop damage. See Vineyards service page for example crop protection.

Yes — trained falcons and hawks are flown during active hours to keep gulls and crows from feeding or roosting, minimizing droppings and nuisance issues. More on landfills here: Landfills services.

Bird abatement (like falconry) deters birds from using an area, while exclusion uses physical barriers. Both are tools in a strategic control plan. (General concept from bird control sources; for context only)
