We have now entered October 2024, and it is a landmark month for Scarecrow Group. This is the month that we hit the distinguished age of 40. A lot has changed since we started trading in 1984. In those days, we shook up the industry by using a digital system for bird calls instead of […]
Controversy surrounds a lake in Cornwall, UK which was built without proper permissions, The Telegraph reported recently. One of the staunchest opponents is nearby Land’s End Airport.

Using natural distress calls is a powerful way to disperse birds and keep them away. Scarecrow Group Ltd has built its 40-year reputation on the success of bio-acoustic bird control, after all. But not all birds will just flee immediately upon hearing a member of their species in distress. Effective bird control requires an understanding […]
Water bodies are a powerful factor in attracting birds to a site.

While the likelihood of bird strikes at an airport are slim, there’s no denying the fact that they can and do happen.
