Leigh E. Foster, B.A., Owner: 30 years of falconry experience and is a master falconer. Former wildlife technician for New York State specializing in wildlife pathology. Lecturer for environmental education, wildlife conservation, and birds of prey.

Foster Falconry, LLC, is a U.S. based consulting company that has “falconry-based bird abatement” as one of its core competencies. Having the experience of a master falconer of over three decades work allows for performance goals that remain unmatched. Falconry is an art and practice of utilizing birds of prey to capture wild game. Possessing a command of this framework enables master falconers to turn their attention to pest and invasive species of birds that pose a human health and safety threat. In aviation and aerospace these stakes could not be higher. By playing on the instinctual reactions of these nuisance avian species, falcons and hawks can create safer bird-free environments for aviation operations. Falconry, adeptly applied, gives the ability to deploy birds of prey at a moment’s notice thus mitigating a bird-strike threat in short order. It is an organic, flexible, and effective means of addressing an ever present threat to air operations.

Foster Falconry has been utilized in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments:

• Agricultural operations including dairy farms, small fruit operations, and vineyards.
• Large area indoor operations such as manufacturing centers, big box stores (Home Depot), commercial/retail areas.
• Municipal/public spaces beaches, boardwalks (Ocean City, NJ), and outdoor recreational areas.

Falconry-based bird abatement solutions have not only been successfully carried out in civilian applications, but are currently being utilized by branches of the U.S. military, including the Air Force and the Navy. Their acceptance has accrued the support of the flight crews and civilian populace as well. Foster Falconry is capable of fashioning media relations and educational outreach to leverage this opportunity as it arises.
