FeatherFender

TM

Bird Diverter

Designed with birds in mind to be the most effective diverter available

Our bird diverter design incorporates the latest research on avian vision and is validated through rigorous field studies.

Birds have lower visual acuity than humans and primarily lateral vision, making larger diverters essential for effective detection and collision avoidance.

Moving objects are more visible to birds, making motion a key factor in helping them detect and avoid obstacles.

High-constrast patterns, like black and white, are most effective, especially at dawn and dusk when birds struggle to perceive color and details.

The FeatherFender is different

BIRD-OPTIMIZED DESIGN

The FeatherFender uses high-contrast patterns optimized for bird vision, particularly in low-light conditions when collisions are more likely.

DRONE-DEPLOYABLE

The FeatherFender is drone-deployable, allowing safe and efficient installation on power lines. Up to 10 diverters can be installed in a single flight.

HIGH-VISIBILITY

The FeatherFender's aerodynamic design increases visibility by oscillating in the wind. Available with reflective or glow-in-the-dark patterns.

RUGGED

UL-rated components ensure max resilience in extreme conditions. Its rugged design minimizes failure risk and withstands the toughest environments.

In the U.S., nearly 175M birds die when they collide with power lines they do not see.

We're on a mission to change that.

Marked lines are resilient lines

The FeatherFender eliminates up to 90% of all bird collisions. Wildlife, including birds, are responsible for igniting devastating wildfires and accounting for 30%+ of all outages.
