Other Possible Solutions


Many devices are available to scare birds away. They include hawk silhouettes, pinwheels, mirrors, reflective ribbon, and reflective holographic ribbon. Most of these are highly visible reflective devices that move with the wind. Any one of these devices may work some of the time, but none work all of the time. The sooner these devices are tried after detecting the problem, the better the chances of success.

Some sound devices play recorded bird distress cries or the cry of hawks. Others produce ultrasonic sound waves that people cannot hear. Managers may buy some time by using scare tactics, but these methods usually only work for short periods of time until the bird has grown accustomed to them.
