Bird Scaring Made Easy
Avvy is on patrol, you’re thinking about something else.
Avoid the headache
Birds are hungry and persistent. Every year millions of dollars of damage is done by birds and even more is spent trying to stop them. Birds will quickly acclimate to static deterrents, so protecting your crop requires a comprehensive plan.

Crop Reporting System
Grapevine trunk diseases can cause significant yield and quality reduction. Are you paying to prune vines that are no longer productive? With our Crop Reporting System you can get an accurate census of missing, dead, healthy, and replanted vines.
Bird Banger
With an Bird Banger mounted, Avvy becomes a bird scaring machine. Configure where and how often the banger is fired through the Autonabit App or Dashboard. Never worry that a bird banger is operating after hours again, Avvy uses strict rules to ensure the neighbours are kept happy.
Bird Monitoring
With the AutonaCam, birds can be monitored in real-time. When birds are detected their location is sent to Avvy; driving a dynamic bird scaring strategy.
Automatic Charging
Have you ever wanted to call it a day but the birds will be active till dusk? Not a problem. Avvy will autonomously return home at the end of the shift, dock, charge, and be ready for tomorrow. Monitor everything remotely – or don’t, Avvy has got this.
Easy Programming
Programming Avvy is easy with our intuitive App and Dashboard. Create programs for blocks and specific areas. Combine individual programs together in rotation, allowing Avvy can cover a larger area. Create a schedule to start and end the day automatically. All of this can be done easily from anywhere on the planet with just your phone.

Deployment Procedure -2 Options
Survey
For a completely hands off deployment, one of our team can visit your site to survey blocks and thoroughfares. This approach is great if you want piece of mind, and a accurate map for deploying our crop monitoring and reporting system.
Guided
Avvy is designed to be easy to deploy. In fact it can be completed using just our App and your new Avvy. Using the app instruct Avvy follow you using its camera. Place Avvy into survey mode and lead Avvy around your block. This will teach Avvy your boundaries and thoroughfares. Once this is complete, lead Avvy into into the block and it will map the rows autonomously. It’s that simple.
Updating the map
If you want to change the route between blocks, add a shortcut, or modify an exclusion or low noise zone. These changes can be made through the Map Editing Wizard built right into the Autonabit Dashboard.
