Even the smallest bird can potentially cause serious complications to business with significant cost, as all birds, their young and nests are protected by law under the Wild Animals and Birds Act revised 2020.
It is a common misconception that birds such as pigeons and crows, often referred to as pest species, are not protected. Failure to obey these conditions puts the individual at risk of up to a S$1,000 fine or six months in prison.
This can lead to clogged drains and flues, as well as attracting insect infestations.
Some birds, like gulls, can be extremely loud, causing disruptions in both business and residential areas.
Ground-nesting species can cause significant delays and increased costs in development projects if not managed properly and legally.
Common problem species that conflict with businesses include pigeons, starlings, and crows, which pose health and safety risks by leaving behind bird mess and causing destruction. Given the complex legal landscape surrounding bird management, it is advisable to commission a survey from an experienced bird expert. They can develop a mitigation plan to ensure that operations are both legal and approved, providing auditable evidence to safeguard your project or site.
A broad range of bird management solutions are available with measures that include deterrents such as (non-lethal) falconry and laser systems to modify behaviours and encourage birds not to settle at particular sites.
Preventative solutions may include:
While anyone can install bird proofing, it’s recommended to seek advice and ensure that the installer has a solid understanding of bird behavior. Proper installation is crucial for increasing the effectiveness of the deterrent.
