Stop Birds Drowning

Bird Island is an Australian-made floating platform designed to help prevent birds, bees and other small animals from drowning in water sources. Invented in Far North Queensland in 2017 and manufactured by Gough Plastics in Townsville, the Bird Island Trough Sentinel System gives wildlife a place to land, drink and climb out. By reducing animal drownings, it can also help keep water cleaner and lower the risk of contamination that may affect livestock.

The platform is designed for stock troughs, swimming pools, dams, mine tailings ponds, fish ponds and other bodies of water. A safety-yellow version is available for swimming pools. Made from UV-stabilised plastic, Bird Island is intended for long-term use in harsh Australian climates. The brand sells the product through its online store and ships within Australia; international customers are invited to enquire. Bird Island aims to reduce wildlife losses and the time and expense of checking and cleaning water sources, offering a practical solution for property owners, pool owners and apiarists.
