Van Vynck Environmental Services - Bird Control & Nuisance Bird Management

Using Falcons for Nuisance Bird Control

Van Vynck Bird Control is a specialist department within the company dealing exclusively with nuisance bird management. We are pioneers of specialist techniques such as the use of predatory species (falconry) to displace and interrupt behavioural patterns as well as offering a complete range of physical deterrents.

We also have a dedicated rope access team fully qualified to install all types of proofing measures to otherwise inaccessible areas. Unlike some companies our staff are specialised and bird deterrent work is only carried out by personnel trained and experienced for this type of work and not by general technicians.

BPCA, ISO 9001 and Safe Contractor logosWe edge our competitors by being able to offer the complete range of bird control techniques without having to rely on outsourcing. This enables us to respond instantly to changes in site conditions or behaviour. When we implement a program of bird management we will provide whatever is required to ensure absolute minimal activity within the original costs.

Hawking to remove nuisance birds

We have a dedicated team of falconers and over forty birds trained in the techniques required to alter patterns of behaviour using predatory species. We have been using Hawks and falcons to displace nuisance bird species from urban locations and industry probably longer than any other company and have developed systems which are now used as a blue print by most of our contemporaries.

We breed all of our own birds then carefully select the best suited based on various criteria including temperament. These birds are then trained using specially developed techniques for on average twelve months and then used exclusively for bird control. This is an important question which must be asked of any potential contractor as only birds trained and used exclusively in this way should ever be introduced to the conditions required.

Upon request we will survey the affected area and provide a free report outlining the important issues such as environmental conditions and availability of food and provide a bespoke program designed to address the problem. With a high level of existing infrastructure we are able to offer not only an effective but also commercially viable solution in almost any location.
