    This document outlines key considerations for developing an effective bird strike control program for an airfield. It emphasizes that the most important feature is designating one dedicated person to manage the wildlife control program full-time. It also recommends conducting an inventory of wildlife on and around the airfield to assess risks, then implementing both passive techniques like habitat management and active techniques like pyrotechnics and predator use to deter birds from the area. Proper record keeping, funding, awareness programs, and a written management plan are also essential components.
