Abstract: 
All around the world, birds are a major threat in the field of agriculture causing damage to economic field crops, storage houses and also dirtying human life areas. In order to distract these birds away, many traditional methods such as Scarecrow models, Hawk kites, Colored lights, Lasers, Flashes, Chemicals and firing gun etc.., are used which nowadays do not seem very effective. In this project an effective bird deterrent technique i.e, Solar Powered Bird Scarer has been developed. For this project the conversion of the solar energy is done by the solar panel and this energy is made use of bird scarer. Crop and yield losses due to rodents, birds and animal is increasing at a faster rate. Our project aims to control wastage of crops and food grains due to birds. The main focus of agricultural engineering is to apply various engineering and technological principles in crop production to maximize production and to minimize the losses.
