The Airport Wailer MkIIIb Click to enlarge picture The Phoenix Airport Wailer MkIIIb is a device that causes birds to move away from airport runways, and helipads, using electronic sounds as well as distress calls, alarm calls and cries of predators. This system helps create an environment that is uncomfortable and disagreeable for most bird species. Electronic and natural sounds are emitted at irregular intervals and for variable lengths of time, thereby preventing birds from growing accustomed to these sounds.
