About BirdXCanada

Who We Are

BirdXCanada is a division of  Micwil Group of Companies Ltd., a provincial corporation formed January 1st, 2008 and operating in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Our original company name was Micwil Computer Consulting which reflected our original business model which was to provide dedicated computer sales, service, upgrades, training and troubleshooting. Our commitment to a high level of customer service and belief in personalized customer service for every client was always an integral component of our business philosophy. Micwil Computer Consulting gradually branched out into several other diverse specialized products, including bird control products, and it was decided to form a new division exclusively dedicated to servicing our bird control product customers.

BirdXCanada was launched on April 1, 2004, providing a bird control product portal for the company. Our goal was (and continues to be) to work collaboratively with facility managers, commercial property owners, businesses and homeowners to provide not just a source for bird control products in Canada but also provide a reliable reference source for information on products. We have one of the most comprehensive listings of bird control products and accessories on the web, and provide detailed technical specifications on all our products, allowing visitors to research potential product choices to determine which is right for them. In consultation with our customers, we continue to expand our range of products.

Our Philosophy

One of the most difficult challenges facing anyone looking for bird control products is finding a single source where the products can be compared and obtained at a reasonable cost. Our goal is to continually increase our range of products to ensure that we offer any product available anywhere in the world at a reasonable price. We want to be the only place Canadians need to shop for do-it-yourself bird control products.

We also act as a Canadian representative for bird control product manufacturers, providing them with a fulfillment solution (i.e. distribution throughout Canada) in addition to acting as a technical support centre, manufacturer representative, warranty depot and customer service centre for their Canadian customers. If you are a manufacturer and would like more information, please see our Corporate Site.

Our Facilities

Unlike many companies who have abandoned the 'bricks and mortar' model, we have made a conscious decision to not be known only as a virtual entity in cyberspace. At right you can see a picture of BirdXCanada's current office / warehouse complex in Saskatoon. We have a large showroom allowing us to display our products in addition to offices for all our staff and of course our large warehouse in which we typically keep enough product to meet the demand of our customers for a 3 - 6 month period.

The Micwil Building (pictured below) is at 102 Wheeler Street in Saskatoon, in the new commercial area north of the Silverwood golf course. Please call for an appointment to visit our showroom.

Maintaining Inventory

Rather than adopting the increasingly prevalent 'just in time' approach to stocking product, we believe in stocking products 'just in case'. Often with small specialty manufacturers there will be production issues or delays which can result in supply issues. We insulate our customers from the 'vaguaries' of production by maintaining enough stock to carry us through temporary shortages that the manufacturer may experience.

When it comes to bird control products, often timing is essential as there is a health risk which without attention can lead to significant potential liability. 

This is why we keep all our products in stock in our Saskatoon warehouse, allowing us to offer next day delivery when needed to most of Canada. This ensures that a lack of availability of product should never create as an impediment to the successful implementation of your bird control program.

Our Staff

Michael Craggs, BA, LLB is the President and founder of Micwil Group of Companies Ltd. He has degrees in Economics, Political Studies and Law, and has been involved in the computer industry since 1989. His decades of experience in the computer industry and over a decade of experience in bird control products have given him excellent knowledge of the effectiveness and applications of various devices.

BirdXCanada has a number of dedicated full time employees who work in various capacities in the organization to ensure that we can provide potential customers with objective information and product analysis. We know how to ask the 'right' questions of customers in order to help identify the bird control product (if any) which has the best chance of meeting the expectations of each customer. Drawing upon our anecdotal experience with thousands of product deployments over the years allows us to filter out perceived bird control benefits from actual effective solutions.
