SubscribeScarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems Ltd, an international leader in the science of bio-acoustic bird dispersal technology reports its pioneering birdstrike avoidance products are successfully removing nuisance birds from airports around the world.
With international demand growing year-on-year, Scarecrow's products are recognised by airside operators as a responsible and necessary means of maintaining high safety standards at airports.
Increasingly, airports globally are adopting Scarecrow's technology as part of their airside bird management, birdstrike avoidance process.
Legislation has in recent years become tougher and more specific about the responsibility of airports with respect to safety measures and standards, prompting the use of high technology solutions and documented control.
Airlines, budget, charter and scheduled, are becoming fully aware of the financial cost of birdstrikes and the aircraft down-time these cause, let alone the ultimate potential of loss of life and aircraft.
Brian Cox, Contract Manager of Bird Control Services at SERCO Defence and Aerospace says:
"The use of a proven and reliable bio-acoustic system is an essential part of any bird control management system. For the past 18 years the Scarecrow Premier and Scarecrow Patrol have been used on all of our Contracts with excellent bird dispersal results.
The equipment is robust, reliable and simple to operate. The Scarecrow Patrol is used in areas where vehicular access is limited for example in cargo storage areas, aircraft hangars etc.
The quality of the distress calls from the handheld device is of the same high quality as the vehicle mounted equipment."
Dave Ball, Supervisor Wildlife Program, Vancouver International Airport Authority says:
"Since we purchased the handheld Scarecrow Pigeon Patrol we have had great success with it and we are now in the process of installing a vehicle based PREMIER 1500 system.
