Calculate Your Crop Loss From Birds — Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Bird damage doesn’t just cost a few bunches of fruit it adds up across a whole season, and most growers have never actually put a number on it. This short walkthrough shows you exactly how to use our free ROI calculator to work out what bird damage is really costing your crop, and how long a deterrent solution typically takes to pay for itself. Watch the video, then run your own numbers below no need to go anywhere else.

    ⚠ Important Estimates Notice
    • Results are indicative estimates based on average Australian farm data and typical DroneMate performance benchmarks.
    • Actual savings depend on bird pressure, local species, seasonal variance, and farm management practices.
    • Drone effectiveness may reduce over time if birds habituate to static patterns — varied flight routines are recommended.
    • The DroneMate system cost shown in this calculator ($17,500–$25,500 AUD) does not include GST. GST is charged separately in addition to the system price.
    • This calculator estimates cost and ROI based on one standard DroneMate system operating within its stated 3 km flight range. Larger properties, irregular layouts, or multiple coverage zones may require additional units — this changes total investment and is not reflected in the figures above.
    • This tool does not constitute financial or agronomic advice, or a formal quote. Contact Skytronics for a free, site-specific assessment and exact pricing for your property.
