One of the products we make at work is a pop up scary man. This fellow usually hides in your field and pops up when the birds arrive and gives them such a freight that they nip over the fence and eat your neighbours crop. How does it know when the birds are there you may ask.
Well apart from having some big googly eyes, we also make a radar that detects the birds and tells the scary man when to pop up.
(Not shown is the radar, and the solar panel.) Also the scary man is normally teamed up with a gas gun but they are somewhat noisy and when let off in suburbia tend to attract the police.
Do you have a website that you sell these on and have more information about it?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,

My Company - Syndetic.com.au - designs and manufactures high tech gear normally for specific customers. In this case birddeter.com
ReplyDeleteWhen used in a system, the radar detects the birds and sends a radio signal to trigger the deterrents. The scary man is one of several deterrents. Normally the deterrents are selected to suit the type of bird that is a problem. Other deterrents include gas guns and loud speakers that play special pre selected sounds.
The final part of the system includes an option to send telemetry data back to a web site we host. That way the health and effectiveness of the system can be monitored.
