Hazardous- Preventing Air Strikes from Birds
Avoiding the build up of large flocks of birds is paramount to the Aviation Industry to avoid and limit the possibility of air or ground strikes from birds.
Aircraft hangers are a constant attraction as roosting and nesting areas for a large variety of birds. The problems that birds will cause to aircrafts and hangers leaves massive Health & Safety issues, due to the defecation. A great deal of mess and damage is caused by the birds nest building.
Some of the costs associated with not depoying effective bird control can be catastrophic:

Military and civilian airfields have for many years used Birds of Prey as the most effective and efficient method of controlling against scavenging and roosting birds visiting and congregating on airfields and airstrips.
