Commercial Bird Control
Falconry-led gull and pigeon deterrence for retail estates, offices, hospitality venues and commercial properties across London and the UK.
View serviceSpecialist gull control, feral pigeon management and planning-stage bird mitigation. Non-lethal. Legally compliant. Operationally proven.
What we do
Trained birds of prey create genuine predator pressure — encouraging pest species to relocate through instinct, not harm or permanent structure.
Every programme begins with a site assessment. Species, behaviour, seasonal timing, environmental constraints. The mitigation is always proportionate to what the site actually needs.

Discuss a siteHow we work
Every engagement follows the same four-stage structure. No generic programmes. No assumptions before the site has been assessed.
We evaluate species, behaviour patterns, seasonal pressure, access requirements and any conservation or planning constraints specific to the environment.
We select the appropriate birds and mitigation approach for the site. Heritage buildings, landfill operations, food production and construction sites each require a different response.
Trained birds of prey are deployed on a structured programme schedule. Handlers adapt in real time to site conditions, seasonal behaviour and changing pressure levels.
Sustained programmes reduce repeat nesting and site habituation over time. Where required, we provide operational records for compliance and asset management purposes.
