Why The Bird Chasers
Our Mission - Safely Manage Bird Problems
The Bird Chasers is an innovative bird management organization based in Texas, dedicated to providing humane and effective solutions for problematic birds. To create a harmonious balance between human activity and wildlife preservation, we specialize in using highly trained shelter dogs and other organic deterrents to safely resolve bird-related issues. Our commitment to responsible, non-lethal methods ensures a sustainable approach to deter birds from:
- airports, air parks and air shows
- vineyards
- farms and ranches
- construction and dredging sites
- weddings and catered events
- schools and athletic fields
- restaurants
Our Shelter Dogs
Our dogs are sourced from local animal shelters, giving them a purpose by providing a valuable service for the community. Research has shown that properly trained dogs demonstrate harassment behavior that birds recognize as threats. We use training methods based upon the latest research in animal behavior and psychology to help them learn. Our dogs:
- once neglected and discarded, are now loved and purposive,
- are trained not to catch, harm, or kill birds,
- and are kept on a long line while they work.
Our wildlife management plan follows five principles that balance the needs of the client with those of the surrounding neighborhood:
- understand the bird problem
- use a holistic approach to the problem
- start early with a control program
- avoid predictable patterns
- respect the neighbors
Individualized Plans
Does your vineyard experience these crop yield pain-points from bird pressure:
- pre-harvest feeding spikes,
- uneven damage that complicates sampling and picking,
- yield/quality losses from pecked fruit,
- added labor and netting costs,
- habituation to deterrents,
- neighbor concerns.
The Bird Chasers use natural, effective, and innovative bird management techniques that address these pain points:
- pre-harvest feeding spikes; our trained shelter dogs prevent these spikes through a patrol schedule designed specifically for your vineyard, that safely keeps the birds from establishing a feeding schedule .
- uneven damage that complicates sampling and picking; high bird pressure areas are patrolled more frequently preventing birds from perching.
- yield/quality losses from pecked fruit; our bird management plans are specifically designed for your vineyard to maximize crop yield and minimize losses.
- added labor and netting costs; our innovative processes can help enhance and prolong the condition of existing netting, and reduce the need for repairs or replacement, by reducing bird damage.
- habituation to deterrents; our bird management plans use three distinct methods that avoid repetitive behaviors and are specifically designed to prevent habituation.
- neighbor concerns; all our bird management plans are designed to take into account the concerns and opinions of the neighbors.
