RoBird™ and Wildlife Management: Safe, Effective, and Proven in the Field

Another Day in the Field

RoBird™ Flapping-wing is designed to mimic the flight and behaviour of a peregrine falcon. RoBird™ is a flapping-wing UAV that helps wildlife specialists guide bird movement safely and naturally, reducing risks to the environment.

In a recent field operation, led by our drone pilot Brandon Thomas, RoBird™ once again demonstrated its sharpness and reliability in action. Seeing the drone glide, flap, and respond in real time highlights what makes this technology so valuable: it blends biology and engineering to create real-world impact.

How RoBird™ Flapping-wing Supports Wildlife Management

RoBird™ plays an important role in managing bird activity in areas where safety and environmental balance are crucial, such as airports, energy sites, and agricultural zones. By simulating a natural predator, RoBird™ encourages birds to relocate on their own, without harm.

Each RoBird™ operation is guided by trained pilots and wildlife specialists who analyze regulatory approvals, bird behavior, flight timing, and local conditions to ensure the most effective results.

Biomimicry in Action

Unlike standard drones that rely on spinning rotors, RoBird™ flaps its wings and glides naturally, creating a presence that birds instinctively recognize and respect. This realism is what makes it effective, birds perceive it as a predator and respond accordingly.

The ability to move dynamically through airspace also allows operators to target specific areas and adapt in real time. Whether dispersing flocks near runways or protecting nearby habitats, RoBird™ helps maintain balance between safety and wildlife welfare.

A Proven Partner in Safe Wildlife Management

Over the past several years, AERIUM Analytics has deployed RoBird™ across multiple complex environments. The results consistently show:

• Fewer bird-aircraft interactions
• Reduced need for reactive control measures
• Improved coexistence between human activity and natural wildlife behaviour

Continuing the Mission

RoBird™ continues to lead the way as a reliable, safe, and sustainable solution for managing bird activity where it matters most. Follow AERIUM Analytics on Linkedln to keep up with the latest stories from the field and the people shaping the future of drone operations.
