Helium filled balloons, which are flying at 10 - 30m high makes use of this instinctive behaviour - birds avoid roosting under our birdkites, which makes them an effective and inexpensive bird control method.
- Birdcontrol balloons are helium filled kites and fly permanently at a certain height, which is fixed with a long rope.
- Birds see the balloons instinctively as a threat and avoid them. Birdkites may be used to deter all kinds of birds (besides predator birds).
- Because of the height, at which birdkites can fly, also large areas up to 10 hectars can be kept almost bird-free. This makes birdkites a very suitable tool for agriculture. The higher the balloons fly, the more effective they are.
- The birdkite principle has been researched and approved by well-known universities.
- Habituation is very seldom, but can be seen during breeding season.
- Birdkites are available in two different versions. Another version
is the Hawkkite. Alternatively we offer birdkite decoys, which are fixed
to kite poles and can move freely with the wind.
- The external skin of the Birdkites must be exchanged once per month.
- Birdkites cover large areas depending on the birds and on the crop (datas from experience):

Landfill site Without Birdkite

Landfill site With Birdkite
- Birdkites can be worn out by the wind, UV radiation etc. Therefore, they must be replaced monthly. Our balloon-sets contain 5 balloons and can be ordered comfortably including helium fillings through our internet shop.
- Birdkite are suitable especially for large areas, airports (with permission), landfill-sites as well as regions with low, medium and heavy population.
