PRESS RELEASE: BirdXPeller Remote Controlled Drone
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BirdXPeller Remote Controlled Drone takes flight.
Bird-X introduces remote controlled model aircraft as advanced bird control method.
CHICAGO, IL, March 4, 2011—Bird-X, Inc., a leader in producing humane pest and bird repellent products since 1964, introduces the BirdXPeller Remote Controlled Drone. This NEW PATENTED technology keeps pest bird intruders away from golf courses, agricultural property and vineyards—even challenging environments such as airports. The BirdXPeller ‘drone’ system is a remote-controlled model aircraft that swoops down to scare and chase away pest birds, emitting natural sounds of hawk cries and bird distress calls as it buzzes the target pests in threatening maneuvers.
The BirdXPeller Remote Controlled Drone has been proven highly effective in scaring birds off—leaving them very reluctant to return to areas where they have been subjected to such terrifying attacks. Studies have shown that the best way to control birds humanely is to leverage their instinctive fears and threat-avoidance for behavior modification.
The Remote Controlled Drone uses the expertise of Dan Metz, model aircraft flyer, as well as Dr. Phil ‘Dr. Goose’ Whitford, a biologist with a lifelong interest in Canada geese—to create an aerial attack that combines the recorded alarm and alert calls from wild Canada geese and other specific species such as seagulls, blackbirds and starlings.
Recently, Dan Metz used the drone to rid the La Quinta Civic Center in California of unwanted ducks. The campus park was becoming infested with ducks, and the creatures were leaving messy droppings on walkways and feathers on the grass—they were even digging up the turf with their beaks. The BirdXPeller Remote Controlled Drone provided a safe, natural way to quickly reduce the number of ducks on the property.

This exciting new technology will provide Airport Wildlife Control with a new weapon for protecting aircraft from pest bird incursions and the severe risk of actual bird strikes.

Bird-Plane collisions up 25%
A recent Associated Press discussed by the Riverfront Times report stated that nearly 10,000 bird strikes were reported last year, which is up considerably from the 7,507 reported in 2007. And that rise is only an average, with some states reporting an increase considerably higher than that.
In some states, such as Texas and Minnesota, the number of bird-plane collisions have doubled since 2005 thanks to an increase in air traffic along bird migratory routes.
…bird-plane collisions at Lambert-St. Louis International airport have increased nearly 300 percent over the past decade.
Hmmmm…maybe these airports need to try Bird-X’s new Airport Bird Control System.
The airport bird and wildlife control system is perfect for this time of year when birds and other animals start heading to their spring and summer spots.
This system is made up of three of Bird-X‘s best sound devices and one sensory spray: the Megablaster, the Goosebuster, the Critterblaster and Goosechase. The combination of the four of these makes it almost impossible for birds to get comfortable anywhere around an airport.

BirdXPeller Pro Proves Effective for Canadian Air Force

Here’s a snippet:
In Borden, Canada, not far from Toronto, the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace and Engineering experienced another sort of bird problem. Though not as dramatic, it was nevertheless significant.

Bird Strike Forces American Airlines Emergency Landing in Denver
Bird Strike Forces Emergency Landing
A Boeing 757 was forced to land today (Feb 3, 2009) as a result of a bird strike. The plane had just taken off from Denver Int’l Airport on its way to San Francisco. Passengers stated that they could hear and feel the collision when the jet hit the bird.
Inspectors found a large dent on the engine casing where the alleged bird strike occurred. Thankfully the plane successfully performed an emergency landing, avoiding any further damage or injuries.
This is the second bird strike reported by major news sources in the past few weeks. The U.S. Airways Hudson River is the last crash reported and drew a slew of media attention to the issues of bird strikes and airport bird control.
