How easy is it to set up a Bangalore Bird Scarer?
Very easy!
It’s very easy to set up a Bangalore Bird Scarer.
Our Quick Start settings make it easy to get going.
Once you’ve assembled it, just:
- Connect up the gas
- Connect up the internal battery
- Set the date and time
- Tell it the county you’re in
- Choose the number of bangs every half hour
And that’s it!
Your Bangalore Bird Scarer will then automatically:
- Start at sunrise – every day thereafter
- Stop at sunset – every day thereafter
- Stay quiet on Sundays and bank holidays
It gets you going quickly, whilst complying with the NFU Guidelines on the use of bird scarers. And without you having to go back to tweak it every week.
But you can change all of this if you want with its flexible programming options.
How far away can a Bangalore scare birds?
It depends on a lot of things, but watch below for an idea
We’re often asked “How far away can a Bangalore Bird Scarer scare birds”?
It depends on a lot of things, such as:
- The terrain – flat, wide open fields will let the sound from your bird scarer carry further
- The height of the crops – if they’re just poking their heads up, the won’t muffle your bird scarer as much as high-standing crops later on in the season
- Things surrounding your bird scarer – buildings behind your bird scarer can reflect its sound back into the field, making it sound louder
Our video above was taken on a farm just outside Cambridge. The owner uses gas-banger bird scarers to protect his crops throughout the year, along with other types of bird scarer.
The pigeons were about 300m (328 yards) away from the Bangalore bird scarer with line-of-sight over a relatively flat field. And it had no trouble scaring the birds away.
Why do you tell a Bangalore what county it's in?
To make things really easy!
When you set up your Bangalore Bird Scarer, you can tell it the county you’re using it in (within the UK and Ireland).
Why?
Because once it knows the date, time and where it is, it calculates the time of sunrise and sunset every day. And as the day length changes throughout the growing season, your Bangalore Bird Scarer will automatically start at sunrise and stop at sunset.
Which means you don’t have to keep going back to it throughout the season to tweak its settings. You’ll always get the best bird scaring patterns every day throughout the growing season.
Plus, whichever county you select, your Bangalore Bird Scarer will then know the bank holidays for your country. It’ll then automatically stay quiet on those days when your neighbours are more likely to be around.
Not in the UK or Ireland? No problem! The Bangalore Bird Scarer will let you set your latitude and longitude so you can take advantage of the automatic sunrise and sunset times each day.
Just set and forget – making your life easier.
