The Automated Bird Trap Built for the Modern Operator
The APC Range is a family of automated bird traps using AI computer vision, remote operator authorisation and humane CO₂ euthanasia to manage pest bird species — with zero non-target risk and a full compliance audit trail for every event.
A New Category of Automated Bird Trap
Traditional bird traps — cage traps, funnel traps, decoy traps — have been used for decades. They work, but they require daily manual checking, carry a real risk of capturing non-target birds, and generate no compliance records. For professional operators, they are a liability.
The APC Range is a fundamentally different kind of automated bird trap. Each unit uses species-specific attractant bait to draw pest birds into the detection zone. AI computer vision — trained on 50+ pest bird species — identifies the bird with 99.7% accuracy before any action is taken. A licensed operator reviews the event remotely and authorises euthanasia. CO₂ is then introduced gradually; the bird loses consciousness without pain or distress.
Every event is logged with a tamper-proof audit trail. The unit operates unattended between scheduled service intervals. No daily site visits. No non-target risk. Full regulatory compliance.

Three Automated Bird Trap Models
From single-tunnel residential units to eight-tunnel commercial systems and large-species management units — there is an APC automated bird trap for every site type and pest bird species.
Single-tunnel automated bird trap
Compact, weatherproof and designed for residential, small commercial and conservation sites. The APC-N1 is the entry-level automated bird trap — one tunnel, full AI species detection, CO₂ euthanasia and remote monitoring.
- 1 tunnel
- Species ≤200g
- Residential & small commercial
- Remote monitoring via app
Eight-tunnel high-capacity automated bird trap
The highest-capacity automated bird trap in the range. Eight simultaneous tunnels for airports, food processing, agriculture and urban precincts where pest bird pressure is sustained and high-volume.
- 8 tunnels
- Species ≤200g
- Airports, agriculture, commercial
- Full fleet remote monitoring
Large-species automated bird management unit
For pest bird species over 200g — Canada geese, large gulls, corvids and sacred ibis. The APC-N4 is a precision bird management unit with four wide-entry tunnels built for large-species operators.
- 4 tunnels
- Species >200g
- Government, conservation, airports
- Full compliance logging
How the Automated Bird Trap Works
Species-specific attractant bait draws target pest birds into the detection zone.
Motion sensors trigger the AI camera system when a bird enters the tunnel.
AI computer vision identifies the species with 99.7% accuracy. Non-target birds are released unharmed.
A licensed operator reviews the event remotely and authorises euthanasia via the monitoring platform.
CO₂ is introduced gradually — the bird becomes drowsy and loses consciousness without pain or distress.
The specimen is sealed and transferred to the integrated cold storage chamber with a full audit trail.
Automated Bird Trap FAQ
What is an automated bird trap?
An automated bird trap is a self-contained device that uses bait to attract pest bird species, detects and identifies them using AI computer vision, and — following authorisation from a licensed operator — humanely euthanises the bird using CO₂. Unlike traditional cage traps, automated bird traps operate unattended, verify species identity before acting, and generate a full compliance audit trail for every event.
How is the APC Range different from a traditional bird trap?
Traditional cage traps require daily manual checking, carry a significant risk of capturing non-target birds, and produce no compliance records. The APC Range automated bird trap uses AI species identification at 99.7% accuracy to ensure only confirmed pest species are processed. Every event is logged with a tamper-proof audit trail. The system operates remotely — no on-site presence required between service intervals.
Which automated bird trap model is right for my site?
The APC-N1 suits residential, small commercial and conservation sites with moderate pest bird pressure. The APC-N8 is the highest-capacity automated bird trap for high-pressure sites — airports, food processing, agriculture and urban precincts. The APC-N4 handles large species (>200g) including Canada geese, large gulls and corvids. Use the fleet calculator to get a site-specific recommendation.
What pest bird species does the automated bird trap handle?
The APC-N1 and APC-N8 handle species up to 200g — including Indian Mynas, common starlings, house sparrows, feral pigeons, common mynas, red-whiskered bulbuls and 40+ other small pest bird species. The APC-N4 handles species over 200g. AI species identification is trained on 50+ pest bird species with 99.7% accuracy.
Is the automated bird trap humane?
Yes. CO₂ is introduced gradually into the chamber at a calibrated rate — the bird becomes drowsy and loses consciousness without pain or distress. Euthanasia only follows after explicit authorisation from a licensed operator. Non-target birds are never harmed — the AI species identification system confirms species identity before any action is taken.
Does the automated bird trap require a licence to operate?
Euthanasia of pest bird species requires authorisation from a licensed operator in most jurisdictions. The APC system is designed around this requirement — every euthanasia event requires explicit operator authorisation via the remote monitoring platform, and a full audit trail is generated for regulatory compliance.
