Description
How the bird kite works
Smaller birds avoid birds of prey, as they represent a significant threat. Hawks, in particular, are raptors that use their talons to catch their prey from above. If a bird kite resembling a hawk appears to be flying overhead, other birds are less likely to approach. As the kite moves unpredictably in the wind, it creates the illusion of a real hawk hunting, causing pest birds to flee the area.
Key Features
Life-like Hawk Movement
The bird kite is designed to replicate the natural movements of a hawk, a predator that many birds instinctively fear. The kite constantly weaves, hovers, and dives in the wind. Pest birds, recognising the hawk as a potential threat, will stay away from the territory the kite is patrolling. Because the kite is always moving, birds cannot habituate to its presence, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
Large Area Coverage
One of the most impressive features of the kite is its ability to cover large areas. This makes it suitable for extensive outdoor spaces that are difficult to protect using other deterrent methods. The telescopic pole allows the kite to fly several metres above the ground, giving it the visibility needed to scare birds away from significant distances.
Durable and Weather-Resistant
The bird kite scarer is built to withstand outdoor conditions. It is stitched and reinforced at key points to ensure durability. However, it’s important to note that the kite should be tied down during high winds to prevent damage.
Easy Setup and Low Maintenance
The bird kite scarer is incredibly easy to set up. It comes with a 9-meter telescopic pole that can be easily extended. The kit includes everything you need to get started: the kite, telescopic pole, braided cord with swivel, securing line, and comprehensive instructions. The simple design makes it quick to assemble, and it requires minimal maintenance once installed. Just ensure that the kite is regularly checked for tangles or damage, especially after strong winds.
Silent Operation
The bird kite operates silently. This makes it an excellent option for areas where loud noise is a concern, such as near residential neighbourhoods, parks, or commercial areas. The kite quietly patrols the skies, keeping pest birds away without disturbing the surrounding environment.
Full Range of Spare Parts
You can easily replace any parts that become damaged over time. This includes replacement kites, telescopic poles, and other accessories, ensuring the system remains effective for years to come.
Suitable Applications
The bird kite is versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including:
- Agricultural lands to protect crops from birds that can cause significant damage.
- Playing fields to keep large, open spaces free of bird droppings and nests.
- Roofs to prevent birds from nesting on rooftops, which can lead to costly maintenance issues.
- Golf courses to maintain pristine fairways and greens without bird interference.
- Marinas and fish farms to keep birds away from the resources.
Tips for Optimal Use
- Relocate the Kite: Move the kite to different areas regularly to prevent birds from getting used to it.
- Use in Open Spaces: The kite needs at least 100 square metres of unobstructed space to operate effectively.
- Secure During High Winds: Tie the kite to the ground post if strong winds are forecasted to avoid damage.
- Check Regularly: Inspect the kite and tether line for tangles or damage to ensure consistent performance.
