Hawking uses trained birds of prey to deter pigeons, gulls and other pest birds - effective, mess-free and humane.
Hawking is an effective method of bird control, and JG's team of falconry experts can provide a schedule tailored to your needs. The method sees hawks and falcons fly through bird-infested areas to scare the pest species away.
Although pigeons, gulls, magpies and other birds are natural prey to hawks and falcons, our birds are trained to scare - not to kill. A prolonged flight programme teaches pigeons and other birds that the area is unsafe, encouraging them to move on.
Bird handlers fly the hawks or falcons through the affected area a number of times over a prolonged period, teaching the local bird population that the area is unsafe for them. Our professional, qualified handlers have strong bonds with their birds to maintain control, and they can schedule visits according to your requirements and the scale of the problem.
To be as effective as possible, areas often require several flights over a prolonged period. Regular flights are a good control measure for most types of birds, in and out of urban areas.
