Bird Control Group
(503) 850-4138
About Us
Bird Control Group is committed to preventing conflicts between birds and human activities in a sustainable, cost-effective, and innovative manner. The company designs and manufactures laser bird deterrents that show a bird reduction rate of more than 70%. The lasers are deployed in different industries and environments. Bird Control Group operates in more than 100 countries worldwide.
The principle of laser bird control is inspired by nature. Birds� most developed sense is sight, and they perceive laser lights on the green spectrum like physical objects. So when the laser moves toward the birds, it triggers their natural fight or flight instinct, making them flee. There are two versions of the laser bird deterrents: manual, Handheld, and automated, AVIX Autonomic.
The AVIX Autonomic is a fully autonomous laser bird deterrent that scares birds away continuously. It can be easily configured, operated, and monitored through a user-friendly app. The Handheld, on the other hand, is a manual laser that uses the same technology as the automated device. It is designed to be used where it could be less conducive to installing an automated system.

Consociate Media
(757) 846-7977
About Us
The methods change, but the tradition remains. Through a blend of marketing, media and management techniques, Consociate Media uses the rich traditions of storytelling and modern communications to help businesses grow.
Founded in 2011, Consociate is a woman-owned full-service marketing, public relations and communications firm based in Virginia with deep experience with consumer-facing brands, advocacy organizations and government entities.
We are a small but mighty team of doers and dreamers who share a passion for storytelling and bringing brands to life. Read on for where we do our best work.
Branding: A business, an organization, a cause. They all have a brand. And the right brand identity is crucial to creating not just a lasting impression, but the right impression. From typeface to tagline and every layer of the logo, all the details build the brand. Let's make it memorable.
Media Relations: Consociate knows what makes a story and how to build relationships with those in the media who are most interested in telling those stories. We aim to be as valuable to the media as the media is to our clients. Our team of former reporters, photojournalists and corporate media practitioners helps develop stories, find the right target, prepare clients for interviews, and track trends and inclinations among the most influential news outlets.
Website Design: We tell your story through an intuitive, SEO-savvy, functional, secure website that's easy to navigate for your users, who won't need a treasure hunt to find your call-to-action message. We can start building a website from scratch if you've never had a web presence or optimize an existing site to better serve your audience.
Marketing Strategy: Our marketing strategy development process helps you clarify your goals and provides the basis for how you will reach them. Whether the goal is to boost revenue, attract new donors, increase website conversions, penetrate new markets or more, the development of a data-driven marketing strategy is crucial.
Storytelling: Let's tell your story with words that matter. Clean, crisp copy is a must for content marketing and the cornerstone of Consociate's professional copywriting services. And while it's important to tell people your story, we can also help you show it. Transforming your most meaningful data into a visual package will engage your audience and boost credibility. Our award-winning photographers and videographers bring decades of experience in addition to state-of-the-art equipment and a mastery of lighting, editing, filters and composition.
Media Training & Consultation: Your spokespeople need an understanding of how the media operates and how to present when necessary. Consociate offers comprehensive media training that helps you work effectively with the media by tailoring your message and approach through techniques that enable better control of your interactions with the press.
