Who we are

WHO WE ARE

The Drone Bird Company is a forward-thinking Dutch technology company leading the world in the development of bird-shaped drones. We are located in the Twente region - ranked the number four most innovative country in the world.

The Drone Bird Company built the first professional flapping-wing robotic bird used for bird control together with the research group Robotics and Mechatronics of the prestigious University of Twente. Our team spent over 30 years of research to develop this first model, which has now been in use commercially for several years worldwide at airports and in the oil & gas and dredging sectors to help reduce bird populations and bird strikes to aircraft.

Our drones are available for purchase or as a service provided by our specially trained, highly skilled pilots - solving bird control problems in a non-lethal way using birds’ own natural predators. The flapping-wing Falcon drone also has the unique ability to chase birds away in the direction of choice out of harm’s way, without habituation. This model, however, was just the starting point on a continued path of development. As of 2020, The Drone Bird Company has added a few new additions to the flock - the AVES Series 1: Larus, Aquila, and Fixed- Wing Falcon.

We love Technology. We love Birds. We combined them in one solution. We are real professionals: The Drone Bird Company.

The Drone Bird Company focuses on four application domains:
• Bird control & wildlife monitoring at airports, in the oil & gas industry, and in agriculture
• Wildlife monitoring and conservation (such as anti-poaching)
• Unobtrusive surveillance in the security domain (border control, police, defense, and special forces)
• Special productions (e.g. BBC Spy in the Wild, movies, performances, theaters, amusement parks, and more)

MISSION & VISION

The fixed-wing Falcon drone bird, along with the option to install a camera on that or the original flapping-wing model, provides customers with more options at varying price ranges to meet the needs of as many as possible. These new units also accompany a shift in company focus and direction from just wildlife management, to also encompass unobtrusive surveillance and reconnaissance. The Larus (gull) and Aquila (eagle) models are especially ideal drones for covert surveillance, reconnaissance, and other types of monitoring. This is because they are virtually undetectable and indistinguishable from the real thing, for both humans and animals.
