Enoggera Bowls Club Stays Bird-Free with Laser Technology

At Enoggera Bowls Club, maintaining spotless, bird-free greens is essential for providing the best experience for members and visitors. Before the club even opened its new facility in 2019, the owners knew they needed a long-term, effective solution to prevent birds from damaging the greens, hovering around the café, and leaving droppings where players bowl and walk. So, whether you call the sport Lawn Bowling, Bocci or Petanque, lasers help to keep the field smooth as this club in Australia discovered.

Rather than relying on ineffective traditional methods like fake owls or reflective deterrents, Enoggera Bowls took a proactive approach by installing the AVIX Autonomic laser bird deterrent from Bird Beam Laser, Bird Control Group’s Australian partner.  The results? A completely hands-off, automated system that has kept birds away ever since—without disturbing players or guests.

• No More Bird Droppings on the Green – Members enjoy a clean, well-maintained playing surface, free from slippery bird mess.
• A More Enjoyable Club Experience – No more birds swarming the café or disrupting play—just a peaceful, pleasant environment for all.
• Effortless, Year-Round Protection – The system runs automatically, covering the entire green without requiring any maintenance or manual effort.

“Visitors sometimes ask about the green laser light, but once they learn how it works, they’re fascinated! Most importantly, it operates quietly in the background, never disturbing our players or guests. The best part? We don’t have to think about bird control at all—it just works.” – Kay Smith, Club Treasurer and keen bowls player of Enoggera Bowls Club.

With birds present year-round, especially from midday to late afternoon, the automated laser deterrent has been a game-changer for Enoggera Bowls. The club has eliminated the need for constant clean-ups, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced the playing experience for members and visitors alike.

“I’ve recommended this system to other clubs looking for a reliable, hassle-free way to protect their greens. Thanks to this technology, Enoggera Bowls Club stays clean and bird-free, making every game more enjoyable for our members and guests.”
