HAWK EMPLOYED AS NATURAL BIRD DETERRENT
Our Harris Hawk has arrived in Watermark Southampton, a key member of our building maintenance team for the new Watermark building. The facades are designed with pigeon and seagull deterrents in mind, however seagulls normally love to sit on the roof ridges to oversee proceedings. The Hawk will visit the building regularly to ensure that pigeons and seagulls don't ever feel too comfortable here. It is fed before being let loose, to make sure that it only scares away the birds rather that creating a bloodbath. This is the most cost effective natural deterrent, and two brief visits per month will ensure that other birds will remember to avoid Watermark despite the steady supply of crumbs from the outside restaurant tables.
