We've had the pleasure of working with Highland Bird Control Services and couldn't be more impressed with the results. Their approach to bird and vermin control is not only highly effective but also environmentally responsible — using birds of prey as a natural deterrent is a fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.
From the outset, the team were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their coverage across the Highlands and surrounding areas makes them a reliable partner for anyone facing issues with gulls or other pest birds. The presence of trained birds of prey made an immediate and noticeable difference — both in terms of control and deterrence.
If you're looking for a sustainable, humane, and highly efficient solution to bird problems, Highland Bird Control Services are second to none. We highly recommend them for any site — commercial, residential, or public — where safe and natural bird management is needed.

Allan has been first class and for the first time we have no nesting gulls on our commercial building in Inverness! He is very attentive, passionate for what he does and the birds in his care, and we would highly recommend him to anyone in the local area struggling with pesky seagulls!

Hired Allan to control the gull population at a commercial site in Inverness.
From.the 1st day Alan has communicated very well, his expertise on gull control is second to none, his hawk deployment has had huge benefits to our business this year with very few setting nests.
I have no hesitation in rehiring Alan and highland bird services for next year.

We had the pleasure of working with Allan from Highland Bird Control Services during the Gull Management Programme in Inverness city centre, running from February to the end of July.
Allan was professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the entire process. This was our first time using a bird of prey as part of gull management, and Allan took the time to explain everything clearly. Angel, the Gyrfalcon, was not only impressive but also instrumental in delivering excellent results.
This humane approach proved highly effective, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Allan and Highland Bird Control Services to anyone in need of ethical and professional bird control solutions.

Being situated close to a waste transfer centre, we have for years suffered with gull issues, both with mess & staff being swooped on.
Having explored numerous options, some of which were costing £15k plus we decided to give Alan a go & the difference within 2 visits was noticeable. As the year went on the gulls all but disappeared as did the mess & constant threat to staff.
Can’t recommend Alan & his services highly enough & it’s also great to watch!

We have used Allan's service this year to control gulls on our roof, we have noticed a big drop in seagull activity at our premises and are really pleased with results.
Allan is extremely professional in the way he deals with us as a customer and always arrives when he says he will.
His experience in the way he manages his birds of prey on site is great to see and the result is extremely effective in dealing with the task in hand.
We have already asked Allan to come back on site in 2023.

I met Allan by chance with his birds of prey while he was working in Inverness. He instantly came across as very knowledgeable. We witnessed his bird's in action that day before I asked him to quote for the same gull deterrent work at our fabrication facilities. We have tried a wide variety of techniques over the last decade all with very little outcome. Within weeks we witnessed a change in the gulls and they were completely put off from nesting on our premises. The advice and recommendations that Allan gave we went with and with his efforts (a number of times each week) this has certainly paid off. We will be using this low carbon and environmentally friendly option going forwards as it has proven value for money even within one season.

We have employed Highland Bird Control Services onsite for the last two months to control pigeons. They have been professional in all the work carried out so far and i would not hesitate to recommend them for other sites.

We have noticed a huge difference in the gull activity on our site, I have never seen the site so quiet in many a year (cleaner buildings all round, little gull diving and squawking).
So overall really pleased with your work. We would be happy to start over in March 2023.
