AI-supported wild bird deterrent
BirdAlert 2.0

Bird flu prevention using artificial intelligence

Dr. Graue, head of the research department at Moorgut Kartzfehn – Europe's largest independent turkey breeding farm – reports on her experiences with BirdAlert 2.0.

ORNITEC's intelligent bird control system is an important component of the biosecurity strategy for protection against avian influenza (bird flu).

How does BirdAlert 2.0 work?

• AI-supported detection of wild birds while they are approaching

• Acoustic detection using highly sensitive microphones

• Automatic deterrence using species-specific fear and panic calls

• Silent in standby mode – active only when birds are detected.

 

Why is this important?

Wild birds are the natural reservoir for avian influenza viruses. Contact between wild birds and domestic poultry represents one of the greatest risks for the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

BirdAlert 2.0 can prevent wild birds from settling near turkey barns – before contact can occur.

BirdAlert News

We have expanded our product range:

  • BirdAlert mobile is available in version BirdAlert 2.0 with all its advantages.

  • Due to popular demand, the BirdAlert mobile is now also with an integrated Scareman . 

  • Scareman also in a mobile version available

The Scareman increases the efficiency of the deterrent.

The combination of acoustic and visual threats represents a comprehensive solution that allows unwanted birds not only to hear but also to see that they are not welcome.

 

While the BirdAlert uses speakers to provide an effective acoustic deterrent, the Scareman enhances this effect with additional visual stimuli. This approach mimics the presence of natural predators and increases the birds' sense of insecurity, causing them to avoid the area more quickly and for longer.

Birds can become accustomed to recurring stimuli if these are not accompanied by a recognizable threat. The Scareman ensures that the deterrent remains dynamic, so that the birds are not only driven away by their own warning calls, but also by a visual hazard. This combination leads the birds to perceive the area as unsafe and seek out new, safer locations.

Additionally, the Scareman offers the advantage of flexible deployment and requires no monitoring. Once set up, it operates automatically and adapts to environmental conditions to ensure maximum efficiency. This makes it a cost-effective solution that saves time and money in the long run compared to traditional bird control methods.

By combining the BirdAlert speakers with the Scareman, you create a deterrent system characterized by higher deterrent efficiency and reduced adaptability of the birds. This combination ensures that unwanted birds stay away permanently and protects your assets from damage.

700 breeding pairs of rooks in the town: The town of Kellinghusen (Steinburg district) successfully implemented our BirdAlert system. The AI-powered device detected approaching birds, imitated their warning calls, and effectively redirected the birds away from the area. Nest building around the former hotspot was successfully prevented. According to the mayor, this is the best solution to the problem of bird deterrence
