Abstract

The problem of scaring away birds was born in ancient times and remains relevant to this day. Birds tend to places where they are comfortable and stay there. Therefore, to achieve maximum effect, new and effective designs of electric bird repellers are needed. Currently, the territories of cities and their outskirts serve as a habitat not only for people and domestic animals, they are also a habitat for numerous species of wild birds. In the settlements and in their vicinity, a specific fauna of birds has formed. Its main features are a limited number of species and a large number of individuals. This is due to the fact that few bird species were able to adapt to the specific living conditions in the city. However, those who were able to adapt found in the city a favorable environment for rapid and mass reproduction. The number of synanthropic birds in large cities reaches tens and hundreds of thousands of individuals [2]. Synanthropic birds are wild birds that constantly live in the vicinity of humans or have found favorable nesting conditions in the territory of settlements and their environs. Many spheres of life of synanthropic birds are directly related to human activities, since the food of synanthropic birds is anthropogenic in nature, because their diet usually includes seeds of cultivated plants and all kinds of food waste [3]. In each region, different species of birds prevail, but there are patterns that are characteristic of the entire territory of Russia. Almost everywhere, the main representatives of the synanthropic are house sparrows and doves. In the central part of the country, you can safely add the hooded crow to this list. When moving towards the west, the number of crows decreases markedly.
