Bird-X, Inc., a leader in producing humane pest and bird repellent products since 1964, introduces the BirdXPeller Predator Drone. This new technology keeps pest bird intruders away from golf courses, agricultural property and vineyards—even challenging environments such as airports.
It is in fact a remote-controlled model aircraft that swoops down to scare and chase away pest birds, emitting natural sounds of hawk cries and bird distress calls as it buzzes the target pests in threatening manoeuvres.
The BirdXPeller Predator Drone has been proven highly effective in scaring birds off—leaving them very reluctant to return to areas where they have been subjected to such terrifying attacks. Studies have shown that the best way to control birds humanely is to leverage their instinctive fears and threat-avoidance for behaviour modification.
The Predator Drone uses the expertise of Dan Metz, model aircraft flyer, as well as Dr. Phil ‘Dr.Goose’ Whitford, a biologist with a lifelong interest in Canada geese—to create an aerial attack that combines the recorded alarm and alert calls from wild Canada geese and other specific species such as seagulls, blackbirds and starlings.
