Description
Effective bird control for large outdoor areas, agricultural fields, rooftops, golf courses and more
Overview
The Bird Kite with 9 Metre Pole is a powerful and efficient bird deterrent system engineered to protect large open spaces from pest birds. It is a visual bird scarer device designed to mimic a predator in flight, thereby creating a persistent and instinctive deterrent effect against roosting, nesting or feeding birds. By combining height, motion and visual realism, this bird control product helps you maintain bird-free zones in challenging outdoor environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Life-like hawk movement: The kite is designed to replicate the flight behaviour of a hawk — weaving, hovering and diving in the wind. This triggers the natural predator-avoidance response in pest birds, making it a highly effective visual bird deterrent.
- Large area coverage: With the included telescopic 9 metre pole, the kite can reach high above the ground giving excellent visibility and influence over an extensive area. This makes it ideal for bird control over fields, sports grounds, rooftops, terraces and other expansive outdoor spaces.
- Durable, weather-resistant construction: Built to withstand outdoor conditions, the kite is reinforced and stitched at key stress points, and designed for long-term use in bird control programmes.
- Silent, non-audible operation: Unlike some auditory bird deterrents, this kite operates silently and thus is suitable for use near residential areas, corporate estates, commercial premises or any setting where noise is undesirable.
- Easy setup & low maintenance: The kit includes the kite, telescopic 9 m pole, braided cord with swivel, securing line and full instructions. Setup is straightforward and maintenance is minimal — inspect after high winds, avoid tangles and replace parts if needed.
- Spare parts available: The product supports long-term use by offering replacements — including kites, poles and accessories — so your bird control solution remains effective over the years.
Why This Bird Deterrent Works
Birds are naturally wary of raptors. Smaller birds, especially pest species, avoid territories where they perceive the presence of a predator overhead. By deploying a realistic hawk-shaped kite elevated on a tall pole, you create a credible and dynamic visual threat — which many static deterrents fail to achieve. Research on bird deterrent techniques shows that kites or balloon/kite combinations designed to simulate predators can be effective in certain settings. (aphis.usda.gov)
However, effectiveness is maximised when movement, unpredictability and height are incorporated — attributes that this Bird Kite delivers. Because the kite is always moving with the wind, birds have less chance to habituate and conclude “there is no real threat”. This persistence is central to a successful bird control programme.

Applications & Use Cases
This bird deterrent is suitable for a wide range of settings where birds are causing nuisance, health hazards, structural damage or aesthetic issues. Practical application areas include:
- Agricultural fields and orchards: Prevent birds from feeding on crops, causing loss or contamination.
- Golf courses and sports grounds: Maintain clean, bird-free playing fields and spectator areas.
- Flat rooftops and industrial facilities: Discourage roosting, nesting, droppings and damage on rooftops, ledges and open roof spaces.
- Terraces, gardens and landscaping: For homeowners or commercial properties facing recurring bird presence in outdoor areas.
- Marinas, fish farms and waterfront installations: Keep gulls and other water-fowl away from high-value zones.
Installation & Best Practice Tips
To maximise the performance of this visual bird deterrent, follow these guidelines:
- Choose an open space: Ensure the area has minimal obstructions so the kite can move freely and remain visible. The manufacturer recommends at least ~100 m² of unblocked area.
- Mount the 9 m pole securely: The telescopic pole must be anchored firmly in the ground or to a stable base. The higher vantage improves deterrence reach.
- Ensure proper tethering: Use the braided cord with swivel to allow free motion of the kite; secure the ground-line appropriately.
- Relocate the kite occasionally: Birds may become accustomed to a deterrent left static in the same position over time. Move the kite location periodically to refresh its “threat value”.
- Secure during high winds: If strong winds are expected, tie the kite down or lower the pole to prevent damage.
- Inspect regularly: Check lines, swivel, kite material and pole condition after storms or extended use, and replace components when worn.
Advantages over Other Bird Control Solutions
When compared to other common bird deterrent/ bird control techniques, this Bird Kite offers distinct advantages:
- Visual vs auditory deterrence: Audible bird deterrents (e.g., sonic repellers) can cause noise pollution, require power and may be regulated. Visual deterrents like this kite operate silently and without ongoing energy cost. (Frontiers)
- Coverage over large areas: Many deterrents (e.g., netting, spikes) are effective for small surfaces but impractical for vast open fields. The elevated kite reaches wide zones with minimal infrastructure.
- Safe and non-harmful: The device deters birds without physical harm or risk of damaging property.
- Low maintenance: Unlike mechanical or electronic systems, there are no moving motors or electronics to fail — once installed properly, upkeep is minimal.
Product Specifications
- Kit includes: Bird-shaped kite, telescopic pole (9 metres extended length), braided tether cord with swivel, securing line, instruction manual.
- Intended coverage area: Large open outdoor zones (fields, rooftops, terraces).
- Material & construction: Weather-resistant fabric; reinforced stitching; designed for outdoor conditions.
- Operation: Elevated pole allows kite to hover and dip with wind motion, simulating predator flight.
- Maintenance: Minimal — inspect after storms, secure in high winds, replace parts as required.
Choosing the Right Bird Deterrent Solution
When evaluating bird control options, consider the following criteria — and see how the Bird Kite meets them:
- Area size: For large open spaces, elevated visual systems are preferred.
- Bird species / behaviour: If pest birds respond to overhead predators, a kite mimicking a hawk is appropriate.
- Environmental constraints: If noise is an issue or power supply is limited, silent visual deterrents are better.
- Durability / maintenance: Outdoor systems should withstand weather, movement and require minimal upkeep.
- Adaptation risk: Birds may habituate to static devices — moving the deterrent location or varying its appearance improves longevity of effect.
- Budget & cost-effectiveness: The Bird Kite offers a cost-efficient alternative to more complex systems (lasers, sonic units, drones) while covering large areas.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Act
Pest birds present ongoing challenges: damage to crops, fouling of surfaces, health hazards from droppings, increased cleaning/maintenance costs and reputational or aesthetic impacts for commercial properties. Research shows that bird-caused crop losses alone can be substantial, and effective bird deterrents are an essential component of a comprehensive pest bird control strategy. (mdpi.com)
Investing in an effective bird deterrent now helps prevent these issues becoming more entrenched — once birds begin nesting or roosting, the problem escalates. The Bird Kite with 9 m pole provides a strong, proactive visual bird control system.
