FireFly™ HW
Bird Flapper/Diverter
Incorporating reflectivity and glowing light, the new FireFly HW bird flapper/diverter is more effective than previous technology at protecting birds in flight from collisions with overhead power lines, guy wires, communications towers, and other thin profile obstructions. The FireFly HW can also be used to haze birds from buildings and structures.
