FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
The WhirlyBird Repeller was formulated by its original inventors, Bud Doty and Rob Turkewitz for use on their own docks after they had tried numerous other methods to repel birds to no avail, including fake snakes, owls, balloons, and electronic devices. The main problem was that the birds became acclimated to all of these methods and eventually returned in full force.
After numerous meetings to discuss and exchange ideas over oysters in a friendly down to earth atmosphere at the famous BowenÕs Island restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, Bud and Rob came to the conclusion that in order to be effective, a bird repeller must use constantly changing sound, vibration and reflections in order to continually keep birds off guard and effectively repel them.
After many oysters, and a lot of engineering, experimentation and testing, they came up with and patented the WhirlyBird Repeller, a safe, simple, and effective design that really works. As Bud and Rob were asked by numerous friends for WhirlyBirds to place on their own docks, the word got out and demand for this product grew.
The United States Coast Guard in Charleston requested the opportunity to evaluate and test the WhirlyBird for its own Navigational Aids. Following a one-year test period, the Coast Guard found the WhirlyBird to be effective.
Faced with continuing demand, Bud and Rob founded WhirlyBird Solutions, LLC as a vehicle to manufacture and distribute the WhirlyBird Repeller world-wide.
