Welkin BirdMark® Bird Diverter

Welkin BirdMark® Bird Diverter

Patented FireFly bird diverters have been tested by EPRI and are recommended by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Incorporating motion, reflectivity, and glowing light, FireFly as per independent studies is the most effective bird diverter in preventing bird strikes on power lines. FireFly also has a lower installed cost than coils. Coils can also entangle birds and are less effective at diverting birds, especially in low light at dawn and dusk when birds are at peak risk. When serving as a hazing device, FireFly prevents costly damage to facilities. FireFly can also be used to haze birds within a 10-meter radius from power lines and similar structures, preventing potentially costly damage.
