Predator Bird Kites by Jackite
Predator bird kites are effective tools used by marinas, home gardeners, farmers, and orchard owners to deter birds and other pests. The natural prey of these birds include fish, small mammals, and birds. The presence of these kites in the sky creates a visual deterrent, making prey animals avoid the area and causing birds to feel uncomfortable with nesting or raising young in the vicinity.
The kites continuously move in a 360-degree pattern around the pole as long as there is wind. They also shift side to side and up and down with even slight changes in wind conditions. This constant motion mimics the behavior of natural predators, helping to establish a territorial presence that discourages other birds from preying on fish or other vulnerable wildlife.

Installed the Falcon kite at my garden last month. Birds have stopped nesting near the fruit trees. The kite moves smoothly in the breeze and looks realistic. No signs of birds returning since installation.

Used the Eagle kite at my marina. It’s noticeable in the sky and seems to keep seagulls away from the fishing area. A bit heavy to set up, but worth it for the results.
Piers Slater –
Felt like a natural predator when I first saw it. No more crows or pigeons near the orchard. The movement is consistent and the 44-inch wingspan is just right for the space.
