Decoys and Bird Robots

Predator decoys imitate natural enemies and thus increase hostile pressure in the affected area.

Predator decoys are available as “passive” decoys to hang or position and “active” decoys, flying robots and bird decoys with controllable movements.

Decoys and robot birds are suitable for low to medium populations of birds.

The important characteristics of predator decoys

Predator decoys increase the natural hostilities in an affected area.
Most decoys can be positioned in various locations. Raven, Eagle, Owl and Kestrel decoys can be hung almost anywhere; which moves in the wind, thus increases their effectiveness.
Woodpecker decoys signal to other woodpeckers that the structure is “occupied”. As these birds are very territorial, the facades can be effectively protected from woodpeckers.
Our predator kite for the agricultural sector consists of a 9.6m long fibre glass rod, with a 1.11m wingspan predator decoy attached. The decoy moves freely in the wind.

available Predator decoys

Natural control method
Short and medium term effectiveness depends on the population
Universally deployable
Weather resistant and robust
The predator kite is ca. 10m high and can protect large areas.

Visually noticeable
High habituation effect, the birds recognise that the decoys are not dangerous.

The important characteristics of Birdraptor

Birdraptor is a remotely controlled flying robot in the form of a predator.
The natural flying movements and hunting behaviour of raptors can be perfectly imitated with Birdraptor. Birdraptor is suitable for large area applications, airports, landfills and regions wirh heavy populations of birds
Birdraptor can fly very high with natural hunting behaviour of a predator. Predators normally attack their prey from above.
Birdrapror is manufactured from high quality composite material and powered by a small electrical motor with rechargeable betteries. Birdraptor is also suitable for gliding without a motor. Birdraptor can thus fly for the whole doy with only short pauses.
Birdraptor flights can be booked together with our employees. Alternatively, we can train customers employees on handling Birdraptor.

Birdraptor bird robot in action

Natural control method
Flying robots can be targeted against flocks (hunting effect)
Controllable at all times
No habituation effect
High flying
Training provided by our experienced employees in the handling of Birdraptor operations

Birdraptor must be actively controlled
Birdraptor requires expert handling
Can only be used in wind speeds up to ca. 40km/h.
Birdraptor is only suitable for large area operations with sufficient free-flying space.

The important characteristics of Bird Robot Robop

Robop is an falcon decoy with movement mechanisms that perfectly imitate a Peregrine falcon. The head, wings and the whole body move at irregular intervals - controlled by an integrated microprocessor. an additional repelling effect is achieved by typical 85 db falcon cries. Robop is only active during the day because of a light sensor.
The decoy is positioned as high as possible over the problem area. It should as visible as possible. In order to reduce the habituation effect it must be repositioned ca. every two weeks.
Robop can also be supplied on a trailer. The decoy is assembled on the end of a 3.6m moveable rod. Robop is then visible over a large area - particularly interesting for open areas (landfills, airports).
Robop is versatile, it is used on buildings, silos, landfills, large parking lots and golf courses etc. It has even been used on overhead power lines. It can also be placed on roofs - a solar module makes it independent of a power supply.

In the Robop-catalogue you can find more information.
