The need for an effective bird deterrent is important in many of today's industries. In the past there have been many
attempts to develop a successful system with few achieving adequate results. The aim of this project was to develop and design an
autonomous system that creates minimal disturbance whilst being effective in bird deterrence. The aim of this project is to design
an autonomous bird deterrent system that is effective in deterring birds from areas such as airports, crops and public buildings.
To achieve this, a study will be conducted into current bird deterrent systems in order to evaluate their tracking effectiveness.
Once this is finished, the most effective system will be selected from a criteria and combined with a system to create an
autonomous deterrent. The system is made up of a motion detector which will detect the presence of a bird and then sound an
alarm to scare away the bird. The system is powered by a small solar panel taken from a common solar garden lamp.
