FAQS
I need to get my construction project started, can I just get rid of ground nesting birds myself?
No. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is illegal to kill birds, remove their nests, or destroy their eggs unless you have a licence to do so.
What methods do you use to deter ground nesting birds?
We use bird deterrents like falconry, acoustic systems and dogs to deter ground nesting birds, and we often pair these with other bird mitigation methods to keep them away from your site for good.
What exactly does bird mitigation mean?
It means managing their activity and preventing them from roosting or nesting by using methods such as bird spikes, netting, acoustic systems, and Avishock.
