Scientific bird ringing in Ibiza and Formentera
Scientific ringing is an essential tool in ornithology, to check the state of health of local bird populations, study migrations or obtain data related to local dispersal, longevity or their biological cycles, among other data of great biological and environmental importance. Through the marking and subsequent collection of biometric data, always generating the least possible prejudice to the bird, we contribute to the study and conservation of the ringed species scientifically.
Nova Falcons is the only company in the Pitiusas Islands that has its own staff trained to implement scientific ringing, at the same time that we actively promote the implementation of this important field work, with an approach that transcends the economic.
None of the scientific ringing projects that we implement on the island, such as the PVC ringing of common kestrels (Falco tinninculus) or the common curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) or the hundreds of ringing and collection of biometric data on passerines, have any kind of external funding or profit motive.
You can find more information and data of interest, both on the species we work with and on the work carried out in this field, in the Divulgation area of our website.
Live trapping systems
As an integral part of any of our wildlife controls (rabbits, cats, dogs, snakes...), cage-traps, nets or net traps, among other non-injurious live trapping systems, are an essential part of our work methodology.
The live capture of an animal is not only an ethical method of control, but it also allows you to give a second chance to the captured specimen, by allowing its translocation (controlled transfer) to another area where it is not harmful. Not to mention that in the specific case of certain species, both birds and other types of fauna, their capture by a method that does not respect their physical integrity, that is to say, that does not cause any type of injury or damage, is completely forbidden.
At Nova Falcons, we are experts in the management and implementation of all types of netting systems, cage-traps, snares, etc., always respecting animal welfare and current legal regulations.
