Abstract
A photovoltaic cell or array is used to power a bird repelling device that emits deterrent sounds from a speaker or other sound emitter, under control of an electronic processor. Repellant sounds can be either a single sound, or a set of sounds, including for example pest species sounds and predator species sounds. One or more sensors, and a user interface, can assist in controlling which sound(s) to use, and when.
