A smart eco-friendly peacock deterrent system for sustainable crop protection is developed to prevent crop damage in rural agricultural fields without harming birds or disturbing biodiversity. The system operates using a solar power supply with battery backup, ensuring continuous performance without dependence on grid electricity, making it suitable for remote farm locations. An audio deterrent module generates specific sound patterns to discourage peacock intrusion, while a visual deterrent mechanism employs a rotating light mounted on a free- rotating structure to create continuous visual disturbance. The combined use of sound and visual stimuli enhances deterrence effectiveness while maintaining environmental safety. By utilizing renewable energy, the proposed system reduces operational costs, minimizes maintenance efforts, decreases the need for manual field guarding and promotes long-term sustainable farming practices.
