Falconry Based Abatement
Falconry Abatement is a subtle and strategic approach
which takes advantage of the natural predator-prey dynamic.
Falconry abatement is a hazing strategy of non-lethal engagement.
Falconers shape the natural tendencies and behaviors of the raptors to provide a genuine, non-relenting threat to the target species. The winged guardians do not bluff.
Birds naturally maintain a cycle of rest and action.
When not in active pursuit or prospecting, raptors perch with a vantage prepared for explosive action at the opportunity of a potential meal. Thus, a perched abatement raptor remains a visible reminder of the existent threat - a trap that can be sprung at any moment.
Not a guns’ blazing approach but a visible and vigilant show of lethal force for an enduring solution. Falconry abatement is a battle of attrition. A location can expect increased effectiveness year over year as many target birds will never return.
Not all circumstances are suitable for the use of trained falcons and hawks; we also utilize dogs, trapping techniques, and visual and acoustic deterrents as the situation demands.
