Robotic Falcons to Scare Off Fat Pigeons.

Posted by Alex in Animal on March 26, 2007 at 12:47 am


Authorities in Liverpool, UK, resorted to robotic falcons perched on roof tops to scare off pesky, fat pigeons!

The mechanical birds – called "Robops" – are to sit on the roofs of buildings, and can be moved around.

They look like a Peregrine Falcon, which is a natural predator of pigeons, and even squawk and flap their wings to scare off the birds.

    i want to know if it works and how long will it work? and why hasn't made something that moves and makes sounds and is used wide spread?

    those owls never work they are actually perches for pigeons. i think they know its a joke. i think cute those owls are cute..if you're into owls.

    we had one of these in aberdeen for a short time but seagulls were at first cautious then realised it was fake then they were back to being good ol' aggressive seagulls

    I wonder if it also has cameras in it's eyes to monitor people? :o

    Perhaps if you could make it move along the roof as well as rotate and flap, it might be more convincing.
