Australian innovation. Wildlife first.
Intelligent Protection
for a Sustainable Future.
AI-powered bird detection,
tracking & identification.
AvianShield detects birds and tracks their flight, while building local Australian bird libraries to train AI models for species identification. Clearer insights for renewable energy and responsible development.
01 / What we do
Explore our workFour areas of focus.
One wildlife-first purpose.
From understanding a site before construction to monitoring birds in flight and developing future mitigation, our work supports informed decisions.
Pre-construction surveys
Identify areas with lower recorded bird activity to help select suitable development locations and turbine positions, supported by ecological assessment.
Before developmentBird monitoring & flight tracking
Detect and track birds in flight, and identify and count bird strikes captured on camera. Retain footage for review of each recorded event.
At operating sitesMitigation research
Developing approaches to turbine curtailment and researching other mitigation options to support wildlife protection alongside renewable energy.
In developmentOffshore solutions
Developing bird surveying and monitoring solutions for coastal and offshore environments, extending our work beyond the land.

02 / Flight tracking in action
Birds in flight.
Knowledge taking shape.
Detecting birds. Following their movement. Learning from real observations.
Our cameras detect and track birds in flight, helping identify and count bird strikes captured around turbines. Recorded footage gives researchers and project teams evidence they can revisit.

03 / The birds that inspire us
A future with
room for wings.
An eagle on the horizon. A summer visitor overhead. A connection worth protecting.
From familiar local raptors to rare native parrots and remarkable migratory visitors, every bird has a story worth knowing.
