Some farms are using technology to chase away unwanted wild birds. Craig Duhr with Bird Control Group tells Brownfield the technology uses a green laser beam that slowly moves across a pre-programmed area to harmlessly scare the birds away. “The birds see that as a predator or something coming at them that can cause harm, so they just take flight or don’t want to be in the area.”
Duhr says the laser devices are already being used by fish farms, feed lot operators, a barge terminal on the lower Mississippi River, and on turkey and chicken farms.
