The Scarecrow Marina, for fixed installations

Scarecrow Marina 1230

SCARECROW MARINA is intended for permanent installation at sites with a major bird problem – marinas, ships, docks, harbours, beaches, offshore helidecs, oil and gas platforms, public buildings and places, historic buildings – anywhere that birds present a nuisance, safety or health hazard.

As with all products of SCARECROW BIO-ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS, SCARECROW MARINA represents an entirely new approach to bird control and dispersal, humane and hygienic, for permanent installation.

Following controlled site trials in 1996/97, SCARECROW developed the MARINA system to be a relatively simple, but unique, process to which birds, by experience, do not easily habituate.

SCARECROW is perhaps the largest specialist and the acknowledged leader in bio-acoustic bird control technology, the reason why their products are ‘preferred’ by airport and aerodrome operators and at other strategic sites where birds may present a hazard to safety.

Systems can be operated either from 235v AC 50/60Hz or 24V dc; often this d.c. supply is solar panel, or wind generator, derived.

Using fully automatic and “random” electronic processors, dispersal can take place without human intervention 24 hours a day, or from dawn to dusk as the location demands.

MARINA's automatic , random playback programme is the result of extensive research, trials and site performance feedback; it has been shown over many years to provide optimum dispersal effect, always depending on environmental factors and good hygiene practice.

Most recent research has also provided further evidence of seasonal and migrational effects on efficient dispersal. For this reason MARINA now includes 3 automatic random playback sequences: NORMAL, RE-INFORCE and SEVERE.

Importantly, natural bird calls played at natural levels are not intrusive and sometimes not even noticed in places where the public may be present; not so with any other, unnatural, sounds to which birds may eventually become habituated.

The SCARECROW MARINA bird control system includes a paging microphone input which, when activated, will automatically interrupt any bird call in progress for routine or emergency announcements. A siren is also included, making the whole installation multi-use.
