The Bird Management Course

The course is a Pest IT build, developed with Peter McCarthy, and it draws on a field record of bird jobs across Australia and New Zealand going back to 1994. Winged Menace: A Guide to Pest Bird Management (2021), by Peter McCarthy and Dr Sali Bache, informed the framework, and lessons cite it where it did. Where the field record has moved past the page, the lesson follows the field, and where Peter is quoted, the lesson says so. On law, chemicals and animal welfare, the lessons point you at the current source, because those move.

Free tools built from the same thinking as the course.

This course gets better every time the trade writes into it. If you have walked onto a site where the pressure was far higher than it looked from the ground, or you have a system that is still holding years after you put it in, we would like to see it. Photo, species, what you did and what held.
