Integrated Bird Management has been featured in the January 2026 issue of Vineyard Magazine. The article covers our AVIX Autonomic laser systems and how they’re helping vineyards protect crops from bird damage.

The article, titled “Intelligent automated bird repellent system”, followed our appearance at the Vineyard and Winery Show. It explains how laser technology offers a humane alternative to traditional methods like netting and gas bangers.

Company director Sean Byrne spoke to the magazine about the growing interest from vineyard owners. He said exhibition visitors had been keen to learn about the system’s capabilities, particularly its effectiveness at protecting valuable crops.

The AVIX Autonomic Mark II uses a continually moving laser light beam to deter birds without harming them. Key features include:

The system has been proven effective in over 70 countries and provides immediate results for growers.

Sean explained that IBMS is committed to working closely with vineyards and orchards to ensure maximum efficiency. The system provides fast return on investment and helps growers tackle bird problems safely and effectively.

Vineyard Magazine reaches thousands of grape growers and wine producers across the UK and Ireland. This feature helps raise awareness of laser bird control as a long-term solution for the viticulture sector.
