Robotic Falcon started to work in one of the airports of Canada Source:

Protection of certain areas from aerial flying birds not so useless as it might seem. For example, for the safety of takeoff and landing of aircraft in the airports use the sound a special tone and even laser systems. Some airports use special «Falcon service». It's trained birds that are caught «birds-offenders». But then all went to the staff of the Edmonton international airport (Canada). To protect the airport from encroachment of live birds they use robotic birds.

Robotic falcons are called Robird and was developed at the University of the Dutch city Tent. In its form, colour and character of the flight of Robird from afar may well be mistaken for the real Falcon. During the flight the robot, waving his wings, a very accurate copy of its natural counterpart. In addition, during a series of tests it was found that wild birds took the robot for a dangerous predator and will leave the place «habitat». The robotic bird can accelerate to speeds of 80 kilometers per hour and is controlled remotely with simple to use equipment. As stated by Nico Nijenhuis, the President of the company Clear Flight Solutions, the main supplier Robird and a major manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles

«Now we introduce Robird in a variety of areas for the protection of airspace. For example, the use of robotic birds now is agriculture. And the fact that our robots can be used and are already starting to work in one of the airports in Canada, this is just fantastic news! This suggests that aircraft like the Robird can be very popular».
