Falconry is an effective, natural and humane bird control solution that is ideal for large spaces dealing with ground nesting birds and pest birds in large numbers.
Because birds are territorial, they will be scared away from a site where they believe birds of prey are hunting.
As a leading provider of falconry for businesses and organisations across Aberdeen and the UK, LPPC Environmental understands the concerns our potential clients have. One key consideration is how much falconry bird control costs. Keep reading to learn more.
Why Is Falconry So Effective Against Pest Birds?
Falconry is the ideal way to deter pest birds because it doesn’t use chemicals or any equipment that can be potentially harmful to birds or other wildlife.
Because birds are protected by law, it’s important that you don’t harm them when keeping them away from your commercial property.
Still, birds cause a lot of disruption, particularly for transport hubs, logistical centres and hospitality or sporting venues.
By using trained birds of prey, our falconers can deter nuisance birds and condition them to use other sites for nesting.
The birds of prey of various species simply fly across the site, making it clear that this is their territory, so the other birds will leave and not return.
While falconry bird control does require several sessions, and the return of the birds of prey regularly to the site, it offers lasting value for businesses.
Falconry gets rid of prey birds, such as pigeons and sparrows, as well as large species, such as seagulls, clearing the area to ensure the birds can’t nest on or near buildings and outdoor sights, such as sports fields or transport routes.

What Factors Affect The Cost Of Falconry?
There are many factors that affect the cost of falconry, including:
- Property Size: Larger properties will require more birds of prey and more staff, which will increase the cost.
- Bird Population: If your site has a large number of birds on it already, it may take more time to get rid of them, which may require more falconry visits.
- Location: Remote sites that require significant travel time may also be more costly.
- Additional Bird Control: For sites that need other bird control methods, such as bird netting or bird spike installation on roofs and ledges, the cost will be higher.
