Bird Proofing FAQ (Launceston)
What is the difference between bird proofing and bird control?
Bird proofing is physical exclusion: mesh, netting, spikes and sealing. "Bird control" is a broader term that can include scaring, trapping or culling. We only refer proofing-style work.
Do you install bird proofing?
No. We are a referral service and pass your enquiry to one independent local business.
Which birds cause the most problems in Launceston?
Mainly introduced species: feral pigeons, common starlings and house sparrows. Indian mynas, a big problem on the mainland, are not established in Tasmania.
Can I get help for a bird stuck inside my house or roof?
If it is injured or a native bird, contact a wildlife rescue service or NRE Tas. A proofing business can help close the gap afterwards.
