Heritage Building Bird Control — Listed Buildings & Conservation Sites

Heritage environments — the specific challenge

Listed buildings present bird management challenges that conventional deterrent products are poorly suited to address. Spikes, anti-perch wire and netting may be structurally damaging, visually objectionable or restricted by listed building consent.

Falconry requires no physical installation, leaves no trace on the building fabric, and operates discreetly within the visitor and operational life of even the most sensitive site.

Westminster Abbey — operational reference

Avian Environmental UK delivers bird management at Westminster Abbey — a UNESCO World Heritage site, an active working church and one of the UK's most visited attractions. Operational sensitivity at this level is non-negotiable.

Tate Modern — central London operations

Our Harris hawks have operated at Tate Modern and other prominent London cultural buildings — effective bird deterrence where conventional methods are architecturally or visually inappropriate.
