Prevent birds from perching
Protect property and the environment humanely and effectively

BIRD AWAY, the definitive bird deterrent, is manufactured in Australia.

BIRD AWAYis chameleon clear which, being glass-like, assumes the colour of its backdrop. This means that the deterrent is unobtrusive and does not detract from the appearance of any structure.

FitBIRD AWAYon ledges, ridges, beams and pipes and eliminate irritating and unsightly problems and hazards caused by perching and nesting birds.

BIRD AWAYcan be used to protect anything birds may perch on and damage, including:

  • fragile, valuable and decorative architectural features;
  • airconditioning units;
  • TV antennas and other wiring;
  • power towers;
  • and any vulnerable surface of a boat.

Bird Away Installed

BIRD AWAYacts in three ways:
  • the birds can no longer foul up and damage structures with their excrement;
  • because of a reduction in breeding areas, their total population will fall; and
  • the reduction of places to perch, roost and breed will lead to birds moving to readily accessible places, such as trees and parks. These are places where they belong, can cause little or no damage and where natural predators can ensure a reasonable equilibrium of the population.


Feral pigeons, and other birds, cause extensive damage to property and generate serious health hazards.

Destructive chemical compounds from pigeon droppings
penetrate deep into stonework or render and attach to it irreversibly, necessitating regular cleaning and, in the longer term, expensive restoration. Local Councils, building operators, public transport companies and others are frequently sued by pedestrians who slip on pavements, stairways, fire-escapes and railway platforms fouled by pigeon excrement, breaking or injuring limbs, etc.

Problem Birds

Pigeon excrement not only fouls up building facades, shop signage and pavements, but can endanger our health. Psittacosis, ornithosis, meningitis, listeriosis, salmonellosis, aspergillosis, avian tuberculosis and skin mycosis are amongst the many diseases spread by seemingly healthy pigeons. One of the more worrying threats to our health is Avian Flu, spread by birds and poultry. The pigeon is also host to many parasites, including the pigeon tick (Argas reflexus) and nest bug (Cimex columbarius), which can transmit harmful maladies to man – hence the term ‘flying rat’.A degree of environmentally friendly and completely humane control is necessary in order for man and pigeon, and other flying pests, to co-exist harmoniously... The most effective way of controlling pigeon and other urban bird populations is to reduce the areas where they roost and breed – DETER THEM FROM PERCHING! BIRD AWAY achieves this in a humane, environmentally sound manner.The product is UV-stabilised, clear in colour and non-intrusive with rounded spike tips preventing injury to birds.
