Bird-X Sound Deterrents Deliver Strong Protection for Growers Across NZ

Bird-X Sound Deterrents Deliver Strong Protection for Growers Across NZ - Birdzout

Bird-X: Proven Sound-Based Bird Control Backed by 50+ Years of Innovation

For more than half a century, Bird-X in the USA has led the development of humane, effective bird control solutions. Their systems use natural bird distress and predator calls - a method widely recognised for its ability to trigger real avoidance behaviour in pest species.

Designed for long-term outdoor performance, Bird-X sound units deliver high-quality audio clarity, ensuring sounds remain realistic and impactful across vineyards, orchards, kiwifruit blocks, packhouses, and wider rural environments.

Why Bird-X Sound Deterrents Work So Well

Sound-based bird control remains one of the most versatile and effective deterrent options for growers. Bird-X units are engineered to maximise impact while offering flexible customisation for different environments and species pressures.

1. Natural sounds trigger real instinctive responses

Distress calls and predator sounds make birds feel unsafe. Their natural instinct is to flee, reducing both bird presence and crop damage.

2. Adjustable volume for built-up or sensitive areas

The sound output can be tuned to blend into the environment—ideal for orchards, packhouses, vineyards near residential zones, or built-up areas.

3. Flexible operating modes

Choose from day, night, or 24-hour cycles, with adjustable time delays to randomise playback and reduce habituation.

4. Multiple sounds built into each unit

Each deterrent features 8 interchangeable sounds, which can be rotated or randomised for greater effectiveness and variation.

5. Expandable with additional sound cards

Add specialised cards to target specific bird species or introduce new sounds for increased variation throughout the season.

6. Extensive sound library for different species

With a large Birdzout library of species-specific calls, Bird-X systems can be tailored to different crops, regions, and wildlife pressures.

7. Cost-effective protection for large areas

Different unit sizes allow growers to protect anything from small blocks to large vineyard expanses, making Bird-X a scalable solution.

Growers Report Strong, Measurable Results

Kiwifruit Grower – Te Puke

“Last season worked out very well for us with very little bird damage. We invested in professional bird control equipment to protect 5 hectares of Gold Kiwifruit, including Super BirdXPeller Pro units and Predator Kites. Plant & Food Research told us we had done well compared to other growers in the area.”

Vineyard – Nelson

“We have finished using the Mega Blaster in our vineyards and are very pleased with the results. There was very little bird damage within a 200-metre radius (12.5 hectares) and reduced damage over 250 metres (20 hectares). I have no hesitation recommending this electronic equipment as an important tool in bird control.”
