Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy

Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy  - Raptor Deterrent 18" tall

The Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy serves as a robust bird control and bird repellent tool, designed to deter various bird species such as vultures and turkey buzzards from congregating or inhabiting areas like airports, farms, and urban settings. By simulating the appearance of a deceased vulture, this decoy exploits birds' natural instincts to avoid potential threats or disease, effectively preventing them from nesting or roosting nearby. The decoy is meticulously designed with real feathers and equipped with movable feet featuring protruding pliable wires, allowing for versatile placement on branches, bookshelves, or even positioned upside down to enhance the illusion of death or agony.

Notable Uses and Features:

• Versatile Placement: The decoy's design allows for easy attachment to various surfaces, ideal for use in locations ranging from CELL & MET towers to electrical substations and residential roof ridges.
• Broad Usage: Employed by organizations such as TVA, USDA Wildlife Services, Exxon/Mobile, Duke Energy, and various cell phone tower companies to protect habitats and equipment from damages caused by vultures and turkey buzzards.
• Effective Against: Primarily targets large birds such as crows, ravens, and other raptors that perceive the decoy as a threat, but can also deter smaller species that are sensitive to predation risks.
• Additional Uses: Suitable as a Halloween decoration or movie prop, adding a realistic touch to haunted houses or scary scenes.
• Maintenance Tips: It is recommended to protect the decoy with polyurethane spray to prolong the life of the feathers.

Combining Strategies for Enhanced Effectiveness:

• Complementary Measures: For optimal results, this decoy should be used in combination with other audio and visual bird scare products, especially in areas where birds have adapted to human presence. The effectiveness of such measures can vary depending on local roosting conditions and the availability of food and water sources.
• Exclusionary Measures: In cases of overnight nesting, additional exclusionary products like netting or electric deterrents may be required to fully mitigate bird problems.

This comprehensive approach, using the Dead Vulture effigy along with other deterrent strategies, provides a robust solution to manage and minimize the impact of birds in critical areas.
