If you use a bird scarer or bird deterrent it is your responsibility to ensure you do not cause a noise nuisance. For further information please see the NFU code of practice on bird deterrents and bird scarers. If you do cause a nuisance we may take action against you.
Preventing bird scarer noise nuisance
For considerate bird scarer or bird deterrent use we recommend that you:
- place the device far away from neighbouring residential properties
- point the device in the opposite direction to residential properties
- avoid the device being within 200m of sensitive buildings before 7.00am
- take note of the prevailing wind when siting the device
- use sound reflective or absorbent baffles (straw bales) to concentrate the sound onto the field
- try not to use bird scarers or bird deterrents on Sunday
