Bio-acoustics are a powerful tool for bird control at airports, and we have built a 40-year business on their success. However, we always stress to our clients that there is no single solution to airport bird control. Even Scarecrow technology, powerful though it is, should be one tool in a toolbox. But this doesn’t mean […]
Right now, the UK and many other countries are outside of nesting season, and that means a window of opportunity for urban bird control. Most new measures cannot be implemented while birds are nesting, so this time of year is your chance to get new systems in place. The Problem of Nesting Season Many countries […]
Scarecrow Group has developed a whole suite of solutions for a variety of industries over its life. However, it all started with airports and that is still where you will find our flagship product: B.I.R.D. Tab, a complete solution that covers dispersal, logging, and analysis. A product like this is not built overnight. The current […]
As Scarecrow Group approaches its 40th year, we find ourselves feeling nostalgic, so we started digging through some digital relics to see how things used to look. We were a relatively early adopter of the internet – before the turn of the millennium – so there was plenty to look at, and we thought we […]
Scarecrow is closing on its 40th birthday, and a company doesn’t look this good in its middle age without having some work done. The Scarecrow brand has had a couple of facelifts over the years, but its older incarnations are still fondly remembered. Meet the Scarecrow Man Our very first logo when we started in […]

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. The owner of the land has applied for permission retrospectively, making it an open question as to whether the lake will stay or go. It certainly has no […]
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. This can be a problem for facilities such as airports and wind farms, where birds might be a danger, be in danger, or simply present a nuisance, making proper bird control essential. Ponds, lakes, water-filled pits from past earthworks, and even drainage ditches […]
Birds pose a significant danger at airports, creating potential hazards for aviation safety. The presence of birds near runways and in flight paths can lead to bird strikes, where aircraft collide with these animals during take-off or landing. These incidents may result in damage to the aircraft’s engines, wings or other critical components, jeopardising the […]
