Birds

Pigeons

(Columba livia)

Feral pigeons usually produce 2–3 broods per year with two eggs in each clutch and new eggs can be laid when the young are just 20 days old - without any control the numbers grow dramatically.

If you are suffering with pigeon problems we offer a free survey and will provide advice and recommendations to help deter these nuisance birds. We are experts in bird control and will help you tackle these nuisance birds with falconry response, bird proofing solutions, bird deterrents and guano removal.

Pigeon control and prevention is necessary for many reasons, most are associated to health risk and disease.

However, other reasons relate to guano fouling, which carries many diseases, parasitic insects, unsightly mess and can cause acidic erosion to listed buildings, heritage sites or your home.

Seagulls

(Family – Laridae)

Gulls commonly roost and nest on rooftops in many towns and villages. Gulls do, cause many problems; noise, caused by calling gulls; mess, caused by their droppings; damage to property via nests which block gutters; birds can dive and swoop on people and pets..

Starlings

(Sturnus vulgaris)

Starlings are very aggressive when claiming nest sites, taking over nest boxes and other cavities even while they are in use by such native birds as bluebirds, woodpeckers, and swallows.

 Large populations of roosting starlings may present risks of disease to people nearby. The most serious health risks are from disease organisms growing in accumulations of starling droppings, feathers, and debris under a roost. This is most likely to occur if roosts have been active for years.

House Sparrow

(Passer domesticus)

The House sparrow is a significant pest to the food industry because of the risk of contamination from their droppings and the damage done to packaged goods.

Indian Myna

(Acridotheres tristis)

The Indian Myna was introduced in Australia in the 1880’s in north-eastern Queensland to combat insect pests, particularly plague locusts. Since then their numbers have continued to increase throughout Australia in urban areas.

They are a major pest problem particularly around schools, outdoor cafes and anywhere there is easy access to food.

Scarybird

As Seen On Better Homes & Gardens With Dr Harry. Australia's Most Loved Vet!

Birdsoff has been thrilled with the success of Scarybird. A Visual deterrent like no other!

Due to customer demand we have increased the size of the pole another 3 metres. 

Whether you are seeking an aggressive deterrent to set up outside a warehouse, installing on your boat / pontoon or flying around in your fields or crops. This Scarybird will not disappoint!

The Scarybirds success has deterred many bird varieties, Crows, Ducks, Starlings, Pigeons, Seagulls, Parrots, Cockatoos and Magpies to name a few.

The reason this Visual is exemplary is due to his aggressive flying action. 

The flight path of the Scarybird kite is constantly changing; hovering one minute, soaring the next, all on just the slightest breeze. The kite mimics a  raptor in flight, intimidating pest birds and protecting your large crops, vineyards, orchards,pontoons or boats.

Emulating a true eagle/falcon hunting his next meal. Birds see this threatening raptor protecting the area and clear out very quickly as natural instincts kick in.

The Scarybird kite is is made from high-strength UV nylon & is ultra-light in weight, weighing in at less than 100g. This enables it to take off even in light winds (<2km/hour). Being so light in weight also reduces the force placed on the telescopic pole it is tethered to. It can withstand extreme conditions of use; strong winds, rain & UV.  The rods holding the kite together are made from light weight fibreglass, specifically chosen for it’s flexibility & strength. The metal reinforced fibreglass telescopic pole is also light weight, weighing in at less than 3kg. Like a giant fishing rod it is designed to bend in the wind. However to avoid damage to the pole, it should be taken down when the wind is intense (in excess of 45km/hour) or when storms are predicted.

Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are the simplest and least expensive solution for deterring birds from alighting on specific areas like ledges, parapets, beams, pipes, gutters and roof ridges. Spikes tend to be difficult to see from a distance, and good quality spikes correctly installed can last many years. Success can be limited in some nesting and night roosting areas.

Eagle Eye & Flash Flag

The Eagle Eye and Flash Flag are optical bird scare devices that harmlessly deter birds from unwanted areas by making use of light beams reflected from direct sunlight. The reflective surfaces send beams around in a menacing pattern. The light spectrum reflected back by the Eagle Eye and Flash Flag disorients birds in flight by limiting their vision significantly. This causes the bird to deviate in flight and fly to another destination.
