| Throughout the ages farmers have protected
harvests from bird damage with devices such as scarecrows, sonic devices, netting and
chemicals. It is clear that birds soon become accustomed to
scaring devices. Recently it has been learned that the eye-like design on the
skin of some butterflies, moths, insects and frogs inspires a strong fear reaction in
birds due to association with large predators.
Various experiments have been carried out by agricultural laboratories
since this was recognized and very good results against bird damage have been proven from
these experiments.
The Big-Eye capitalizes on the fear reaction of almost all birds to give
extended protection to crops over a large area at a really economical price.
Big-Eye is normally inflated with air and hung from a pole or convenient
place in plain view -. A tethering point is sonic welded to the inflatable.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE
INFLATABLE SCARCER?
The Big Eye is a very simply device, but it
works, and it is a low cost. Check out our on-line store Bird Scarrer section for
