Falconry Abatement
Pest birds can severely damage fruit and grain crops. They can cause numerous problems in cities and highly populated areas. Pest birds may also create dangerous conditions at airports and landfills. Our experts can use trained falcons to reduce or remove pest birds by encouraging them to find other foraging or nesting locations.

Need specific ecological or cultural resource training for your staff? We can design customized workshops ranging from an afternoon refresher to week long seminars.
