Bird Scarers

Bird scarers are a variety of devices that are used to frighten birds from a particular area. Birds can be very destructive to things like fruit trees and crops. And often it's undesirable to have many birds in an area when an event like a wedding is planned, because of the possibility of bird droppings falling on people.

Another typical use for bird scarers is near airports. Birds gathered together where planes take off and land can actually cause air accidents. If the birds get in the path of a plane and block visibility it can cause problems. And several birds being sucked into the engines can also cause plane malfunctions.

Types of Bird Scarers

There are many different types of bird scarers. Some of the most common visual bird scarers are things like scarecrows. A scarecrow, literally designed to scare crows away from farmers' fields, has been around for hundreds of years. They're shaped like a person and placed in the middle of fields, to make birds think a person is nearby so they won't land and eat the crops.

Today, these bird scarers have evolved from simple scarecrows to things like balloons with huge eyes painted on them, to look like the eyes of an owl or some other large predator. These are designed to make birds think that venturing into the field could be dangerous. In the UK, however, using balloons must be officially approved to be legal.

Other Visual Bird Scarers

Kites with predators' eyes and shapes painted on them are common types of bird scarers, as are helikites, which are a combination of balloon and kite. This means that they stay up in the air, when filled with helium, without wind being necessary. This is designed to make birds think of hawks and other predators.

Stationary bird scarers are often coloured to look like owls and other birds of prey. Some of these are placed high on poles to ensure that birds can see them.

Laser Bird Scarers

Lasers are often used to scare birds away. This is a more expensive method than using balloons or scarecrows, and takes some training to use properly. The laser light simply shines and is thought to scare the bird from coming closer. The biggest drawback is that it can frighten animals in surrounding areas when the conditions are right for the laser light to travel a long distance.

Fake Dead Birds

Using models of dead birds is one method of bird scaring often used today. Other birds see what appear to be dead birds, and deem that the area must be dangerous for them. This is often use near and within airports to keep gulls away.

Sound Bird Scarers

In addition or instead of visual bird scarers, things like propane cannons that make loud explosions at regular intervals can be used. Ultrasonic bird scarers create very high pitched sounds that are less annoying to people, because we can't hear them, but designed to irritate birds and make them leave the area.
