Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you get your trained falcons?
AFS breeds almost all the falcons it uses at its base in upstate New York. For years we have been breeding only from falcons that are themselves experienced at bird abatement. Our falcons are chosen for their ability to fly in all weather conditions and year round. They are trained to accept the often busy activity associated with landfills and airports.
Why use trained falcons?
In the wild, Falcons regularly prey on gulls, crows, starlings and other nuisance birds. Because of this, all of these species as well as others, are inherently afraid of a falcon in flight and they do not differentiate between a falcon that is trained and one that is wild. When they see a falcon flying they will leave the area for an extended period of time. When they return, another falcon is waiting to be flown and the pest birds learn that the area is not a safe one for them to use. Through natural selection, birds do not habituate to falcons like they do to some other techniques.
What species work?
AFS chooses the species of falcons or hawk best suited to the pest bird we are harassing. Large falcons such as Saker Falcons, Peregrine Falcons etc. are used to scare gulls and crows. Smaller falcons such as Merlins and Lanner Falcons are used where starlings or blackbirds are the problem species. On golf courses and in urban areas and inside buildings, Harris Hawks are often the preferred species because they can operate in much smaller spaces than falcons.
Where do trained falcons work best?
Trained falcons and hawks are effective in many different environments but have proven very successful on airports, landfills, transfer stations, vineyards and golf courses.
