Bird Scarers

' '

Birds Scarers and bird deterrants are often used to protect crops from damage or being eaten by wild birds.  However, some of these devices produce loud noises, similar to gun fire, to scare the birds, and these "gas guns" can cause a noise nuisance to neighbouring properties.  The National Farmers Union (NFU) has produced a code of practice for using these "gas guns".  If you would like to see the code of practice, please follow the link.
