Arduino Bird Deterrent Kit
Arduino Bird Deterrent Kit - Ultrasonic Crop Scare System
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Birds can destroy a harvest in hours. This kit enables you to build a sensor system that detects their movement using a PIR module and emits 40kHz ultrasonic pulses to drive them away - hands-free, 24/7, and powered by a simple Arduino Uno. Whether you're protecting a paddy field or a small kitchen garden, you'll deploy an effective, non-lethal deterrent.
What You'll Build
A motion-activated ultrasonic bird repellent you can place in any crop zone. When the HC-SR501 PIR sensor senses movement, it triggers two 40kHz ultrasonic transducers through a transistor driver circuit, producing high-frequency sound disturbing to birds but inaudible to humans. The unit runs on a 9V battery, making it portable and easy to deploy across multiple sites.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing PIR motion sensors with Arduino Uno to detect warm bodies reliably.
- Driving ultrasonic transducers using BC547 transistors and 1N4007 diodes for safe switching.
- Programming delay and burst logic to pulse ultrasonic sound effectively.
- Designing low-power, battery-operated field electronics for agriculture.

Can this device scare birds effectively over a large field?
The two transducers cover approximately 10-15 square metres. For larger farms, build multiple units and space them out, or amplify the signal with additional transducer drivers.
Will the ultrasonic sound disturb pets or humans?
The 40kHz frequency is beyond human hearing (20kHz) and most pets. Dogs may hear it but the brief burst is not continuous; birds perceive it as uncomfortable and leave the area.
How long does the battery last in the field?
With a standard 9V alkaline battery and intermittent motion-triggered bursts, expect 2-3 weeks. Extend runtime by using a larger battery pack or adding a solar panel (not included).
Parking - PIR detects birds in crop zone and triggers 40kHz ultrasonic transducer burst to scare them off.
