What is Advanced Bird Management?
Advanced Bird Management (ABM) refers to a set of techniques used to manage bird populations, particularly in urban areas like Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
The aim of ABM is to mitigate the negative impact of birds on human health, safety, and the environment, while also preserving the well-being of bird populations. This may involve a variety of methods, such as bird proofing buildings, habitat modification, relocation, and humane control measures.
ABM also involves monitoring and researching bird populations and behavior, and using this information to develop and implement effective management strategies. The goal of ABM is to find a balance between the needs of people and the needs of birds in urban environments.
What are the techniques involved in Advanced Bird Management?
There are a number of techniques that we use as part of Advanced Bird Management (ABM). Some of the most common techniques include:
Bird proofing: This involves modifying buildings and structures to make them less attractive to birds and prevent them from roosting or nesting. This may include the use of physical barriers, such as spikes, netting, or bird-resistant glass, as well as the use of visual deterrents, such as reflective tape or balloons.
Habitat modification: This involves changing the environment to make it less attractive to birds. This may include removing food sources, such as bird feeders or waste food, or planting vegetation that is less attractive to birds.
Relocation: This involves removing birds from one location and releasing them into a more suitable habitat. This is typically done in consultation with wildlife agencies to ensure that it is done in a humane and responsible manner.
Humane control measures: This involves using non-lethal methods to control bird populations, such as egg and nest removal, or the use of bird scaring devices, such as audio deterrents or laser lights.
Monitoring and research: This involves monitoring bird populations and their behavior, and using this information to develop and implement effective management strategies. This may involve conducting surveys, monitoring bird nesting and roosting sites, or studying the effectiveness of different control methods.
These are some of the most common techniques used as part of ABM. The specific techniques used will depend on the type of bird, the location, and the specific issues being addressed.
