Avian species have always been a major point of concern when it comes to bird collisions and electrocutions caused by power lines. Across the world, researchers, conservationists, and power utility experts have developed modern and advanced bird protection devices to significantly reduce bird mortalities.
Among these innovations, line marking devices play a crucial role. Popular solutions include Bird Flappers, Bird Deflectors, Bird Spirals, Bird Reflectors, Crossed Bands, Bird Flight Diverters, and LED Bird Flight Diverters. Out of all these technologies, Bird Diverters and Bird Flight Diverters are considered the most effective and widely used solutions in the global market.
We all have a curiosity to know what exactly a Bird Diverter is and how it looks like? Many people are curious to know what exactly a Bird Diverter is and how it looks.
If you have ever been on a jungle safari, camping trip, or visited open natural landscapes, you may have noticed power transmission towers and overhead power lines stretching across vast areas. On closer observation, you might have seen unusual objects attached to these lines.
These objects may appear as round discs, balls, spirals, spheres, or rotating devices, often available in bright colors and sometimes equipped with illuminating or reflective features. These devices can be fixed or rotating, depending on their design and application.
During your jungle safari, camping tours or visiting places where you experience huge naturals lawns and surroundings, sighting powerlines tower and other power distribution infrastructures are very common. You must have noticed strange kind of objects both Fixed and rotating like round disks, balls, spheres (with the illuminating feature) etc of different colors and sizes hanging on powerlines are known as bird diverters.
Why Choose Us ?
Being in the industry from decades under the brand name of Indolite with more than OVER 20 PATENTS within the banner specifically in the field of Wild life saving devices.
The idea of launching most sophisticated Bird Diverter came into existence in 2019 with the most prominent robotic industry setup available in market specifically to create the best of all in case of :-
• Unique Design
• Durability
• Impactness
• Long Distance Visibility Read More
Why We Need Bird Flight Diverter ?
Avian species migration leads to collision specifically because of their poor frontal vision. Installing Bird flight diverters on powerlines will increase the visibility among avian species and also acts as rescuer. Often you can have a glimpse of these devices while passing through deep valley areas, near major freeway crossings and huge farming fields.
The most commonly used marking devices around the globe with immaculate results in case of durability , feasibility and viability are:-
Powerlines always pose a great threat to avian species worldwide. The ratio of avian mortality increases due to collision with powerlines, whether its electricity transmission tower or distribution networks.
The thrust of being more & more modernized, where electricity plays an important role, unfortunately, the major part of the world is found to be surrounded by threatening powerlines.
The Powerline network acts as a very dangerous barricade, as they lead to an effective hindrance between feeding and resting paths of avian species. The most common sufferer in the said cause are species with a huge body and low frontal vision. Weather conditions over the years also play a major role in increasing the risk of collision and led to increased mortality.
Collision is always considered as an effective cause of death different from electrocution. Avian species and agile birds which normally migrate during the night at an average height of 20-50 meters, flying in groups are found to be less affected in comparison to others. The probability of evaluation and mitigation of power transmission networks considered to be the most affecting features of avian mortality.
Others Factors affecting Avian species populations
Habitation
Destruction Of Breeding Colonies
Illegal Hunting
Collisions With Electric Power Lines.
Around the globe researchers well elaborated the said problems in multiple ways and also suggested the most suited line marking devices to reduce mortality due to collision with powerlines. Where Bird Diverter is the most common name always. Installing these bird diverters can be considered as the most effective as well as an economical solution when it comes to collision with powerlines.
Researchers also suggested that the below-mentioned scenarios for best possible results:-
Space between two Bird Diverters, fixed on power transmission lines near forests, water bodies, creeks, landfills, forest lands or areas which fall directly in flight path of avians should not be more than 5 meters.
Space between two Bird Diverters, fixed on power transmission lines , beyond 2 kms of forests, water bodies, creeks, landfills, forest lands or areas which fall directly in-flight path of avians, gap may go up to maximum 10 meters.
Performance of these diverters can be classified on the basis of their durability, stability as well as compatibility with the zone they have been used for. The main idea of getting these simple devices installed on power transmission lines is to make them easily visible to avian species during their flight while migrating from one place to another, so that they are well aware of the obstacles in advance.
