ROOKS IN THE CITY It is not known for sure why rooks are moving into the cities. It may be due to a lower incidence of natural enemies or that it has become easier for them to find food/insects in the cities than in sprayed agricultural areas. One thing is certain! The noise can be very annoying in a residential area. THE ASSIGNMENT IS DIVIDED INTO 3 STEPS 1. Permit 2. Removal 3. Scare campaign ROOKS ARE A COLONIAL BIRD... ...and it’s protected by “The Birds Directive“ and it requires a permit to remove the nests and to launch a scare campaign. PERMIT Make sure that the owner of the trees has got a permit before you do anything at all. (The permission is often achieved where people get disturbed during the daytime hours, such as hospital, nursing home, kindergarten or school) Without a permit, you may inspect tasks that can never be done. TELESCOPIC POLE Extend your reach to neighboring trees by using a telescopic pole (for window cleaning). In order to provide sufficient effect on the nest the pole is provided with a plate at the end. If the plate is too small it goes through the nest and is it too big it can not get between the branches. REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CLIMBS NEEDED Before you make your ascent, place the rope bag under a possible anchor point. Reduce the telescopic pole to 3/4 length and use it to measure which nests are within reach. ASCENT 1. Install the rope in the tree 2. Attach the telescopic pole to the rope below the climbing system 3. If there are many ascents in a day then optimize your performance by using foot, knee and hand ascender 4. When you are positioned in the tree, hoist the telescopic pole LESS HEIGHT MAY BE BETTER Rooks build their nests from fresh material in between branches and when it drys out the construction becomes very strong. It’s easy to push the nest upwards and more difficult sideways. Therefore, it’s an advantage to remain below the nest, within reach of the telescope pole. When you are placed just below the nest, use visor, close your mouth and avoid the ”cake”! ERGONOMICS An extended telescopic pole can be difficult to control. For better ergonomics use branch forks etc. to support the telescopic pole. SCARE CAMPAIGN Nesting rooks are impossible to scare. But if the nests been removed before breeding season, they have to build new nests and during this period they are much easier to scare. The scare campaign is carried out repeatedly during the daytime hours for 5 to 10 days, by making sudden noise when the birds approach the trees. A concentrated campaign gives a quick result. If the customer can not complete a proper scare campaign it’s futile to remove any nests at all! Special thanks to Kim Dahl at for perfect sound and music editing.
