From our customers...

“One of the things you come to realize when you start a U-pick blueberry farm is that people are not the only ones that love blueberries. My wife and I started a small U-pick blueberry farm several years ago in central Missouri. We thought that we might have a few birds attracted to the fruit during harvest, but we were naïve to this issue. Robins are our big problem. It didn’t take long before a few robins multiplied into flocks. I’ve concluded their passion for blueberries is no less than humans. We needed help. That is when I started talking with Bird Gard. Over the last couple of years, we have purchased several of their Super Pro systems. They help a lot. Most importantly they have been responsive to my calls and provided meaningful guidance for how I can tailor Bird Gard for my specific situation. As we expand and plant more blueberries, we will be purchasing more Bird Gards. I highly recommend their product and services.”

Description

Bird control for small-acreage operations.

The Sonic Hawk 100 is engineered for hobby farms, dairies, vineyards, riding arenas, food processing facilities, feed alleys, outbuildings, and any small-acreage operation where birds threaten crops, livestock feed, or property. A 4-speaker box projects high-fidelity bioacoustic recordings — species-specific distress calls and predator vocalizations — over a circular area up to 250 feet in every direction, ~3 acres typical under normal field conditions.

IntelliGard OS comes standard.

Every Sonic Hawk 100 ships with IntelliGard OS, Bird Gard’s anti-habituation operating system. Most “squawk box” deterrents fail because birds learn the pattern within days. IntelliGard OS solves this with randomized playback intervals, strategic time-off periods, and a library of 250+ species-specific bioacoustic profiles, so the soundscape never becomes predictable. Sound profiles are developed in collaboration with researchers and updated by USB.

What the field data shows.

The strongest peer-reviewed field trial of this method followed nine commercial Pinot noir vineyards in California’s Carneros AVA over two seasons. Blocks using conventional methods alone averaged 13.0% bird damage; blocks that added broadcast alarm and distress calls averaged 5.7% — a 56% reduction. Netting, the benchmark, showed 2.3%. Units were placed at roughly one per 0.6 hectares along vineyard perimeters and relocated weekly (Berge, Delwiche, Gorenzel & Salmon, 2007, American Journal of Enology and Viticulture 58(1): 135–143).

No deterrent removes every bird, and results vary with site, crop, acreage and bird pressure. For a damage estimate specific to your block, ask us for a free site mapping and proposal.

Watch How Bird Gard Works

Bird Gard’s cutting-edge bird deterrent technology harnesses the power of bioacoustics and intelligent sound randomization to create an environment that birds instinctively avoid. Using high-fidelity recordings of species-specific distress calls, predator sounds, and alarm signals, Bird Gard systems disrupt pest birds’ natural behavior, prompting them to flee from protected areas. Designed for maximum effectiveness and long-term reliability, our solutions provide a humane, non-lethal approach to bird control in agriculture, commercial spaces, and urban environments.

Testimonials

“I utilized Bird Gard on a commercial farm to protect the wine grape cultivars ‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Franc’. Both the grower and I were impressed that your device appeared to significantly lower bird pressure on this planting.”
Thomas Zabadal
Thomas ZabadalMichigan State Research Center, Benton Harbor, Michigan
“I was particularly interested in the fact that there was minimal damage on the non-harvested buffer blueberry bushes, even though berries remained on these bushes until they dropped naturally.”
Eric Hanson
Eric HansonMichigan State Research Center in Benton Harbor, Michigan
“Bird Gard’s performance was very impressive and we are pleased with the results. It does a good job of scaring birds in our vineyards and it also does a good job of attracting predators. During the growing season a Red Tailed Hawk lived near the vineyard. More than once I saw the hawk actively looking for distressed birds when the distress call sounded,”
Tim Johnson
Tim JohnsonResearch Specialist, Cornell University in Geneva, New York
“The trials with Bird Gard in sweet cherries were very successful. The orchard manager indicated he harvested the largest crop he can remember. Typically that block had suffered 40%-50% crop loss each season.”
Dr. Paul Curtis
Dr. Paul CurtisIPM Wildlife Specialist, Cornell University in Ithaca, New York
“Our technician was finding 10-20% damaged fruit (peaches) each harvest. Soon after we installed Bird Gard, our percentage of bird damaged fruit dropped substantially to 2-3%.”

Bird Deterrent Best Practices

Total coverage is necessary for optimal results.

Birds are bold and they won’t hesitate to take advantage of unprotected areas. Any areas not fully protected will allow birds to start feeding on the fringes of the sound coverage area. Birds that remain nearby will acclimate to insufficiently intense deterrent sounds, resulting in less than satisfactory results. When the entire crop is adequately protected birds are quick to abandon the area.  Let your Bird Gard representative know the intensity of your bird pressure as this will allow for a professional recommendation on the coverage density.

Birds typically feed from the perimeter of the crop and work their way in. The effective range of your Bird Gard units need to extend beyond the edge of your crop.

Terrain and other obstacles must be considered.
Hills, structures and trees can block the sounds and must be taken into consideration when placing your Bird Gard units.

Birds will congregate in trees, surrounding foliage and on power lines to stage feeding raids.
Your Bird Gard units must be positioned close enough to the foliage and power lines to drive the birds out.

Speaker placement and volume are critical.
A coverage area map provided by Bird Gard will assist you in placing the systems on your desired area. Overlapping coverage and full volume increases the effectiveness of each unit.

Ensure optimal bird protection with a free detailed proposal.
Using satellite imagery we are able to provide you with a customized proposal for your property, taking into consideration the terrain, trees and any neighbors. It is the best way to ensure you get the results you need.

If you already implement a visual bird deterrent.

Keep using your visual deterrent.  Bird Gard systems will help increase the effectiveness of those deterrents but will add protection where those deterrents can’t reach (around corners, under the crop foliage, etc.)

The Sonic Hawk 100 features a 4-speaker box, whereas the Sonic Hawk 500 comes with a 20-speaker tower for more extensive sound coverage.

The Sonic Hawk 500 has two high-output amplifiers, producing sounds up to 125 decibels, making it significantly more powerful than the Sonic Hawk 100.

Yes. The coverage area for the Sonic Hawk 500 is 5 times greater than the Sonic Hawk 100.

Key Differences for the Sonic Hawk 500:

  • 20 speakers vs. 4 speakers
  • Built in amplifier
  • 50 Watt Solar Panel vs. 25 Watt Solar Panel

Due to its higher power output and 20-speaker configuration, proper hearing protection should be worn in close proximity when the Sonic Hawk 500 is turned on, as it can produce sounds up to 125 decibels.
