Avondale Falconry provides professional bird control and falconry-based pest management across industrial, agricultural, residential and sporting sites across England, Wales and Scotland.
We combine traditional falconry skills with modern environmental compliance to deliver effective, ethical and fully licensed bird deterrent solutions – supported by a fast, reliable response wherever you are in the UK.
Our trained hawks and falcons are deployed to deter gulls, pigeons, corvids, and geese from warehouses, rooftops, farms, open spaces, and sports venues. Using natural flight behaviour, our birds deliver non-lethal, sustainable pest control that fully complies with UK wildlife and DEFRA regulations. From large industrial sites to crop protection and open-air venues, our experienced falconers conduct detailed site assessments and implement tailored bird control programmes that work quickly, humanely, and effectively.
All our birds are bred, trained and cared for in-house to the highest welfare standards. Every project is managed by a fully qualified and insured falconry team with years of field experience, enabling us to offer rapid response times and consistent nationwide service.
