Bird Gard has a range of airport bird scarers to prevent bird strike at airfields and airports. Bird strikes to aircraft can cause severe damage and have resulted
in fatalities. In the USA alone, it is estimated that bird strikes
cost over $300 million in damage to aircraft each year and have
been the cause of over 300 deaths.
Collisions between birds and aircraft will always occur but
the risk of severe damage can be reduced with the proper application
of bird control techniques.
Bird Gard airport bird scarers are essential to flight safety and is
inexpensive compared to the potential risks and possibility
of litigation.
