2 X Woodside Large Realistic Owl Decoy With Rotating Head Bird/Pigeon/Crow Scarer

I bought these as a last resort (before having to consider more lethal forms of control!) to deter wood pigeons from perching on a series of wooden garden arches supporting growing roses. If they had just used the arches as a convenient resting place, there would have been no problem, but the little pests used them for a leisurely dump after a breakfast of someone else's vegetables, and I was getting fed up with cleaning up mounds of pigeon poo. They worked brilliantly for a while, but pigeons are an intelligent bird, and once they realised that the owl perching on the arch next to them wasn't going to tear them apart, they ignored them! Easy solution - move the owls around! The owls are well made, and the fact that a small, clear plastic vane on the back of the head catches any breeze and causes the head to move makes them very lifelike. Well worth a try in urban or village gardens where neighbours might object to someone taking shots at pigeons with an air rifle! They are also quite decorative and add a little touch of something different to a garden.

These need filling with either sand or pebbles to make them sturdy.Make good garden ornaments

Does not deter squirrel or pigeon

Great ornamental value, love the way the head moves, but as a bird scarer the birds actually love them. One actually showed its contempt by pooping ( being polite ) right next to it and only had them less than 24 hours. As i say though great ornaments for the garden

Early days but this really seems to work! No more pigeons perching on my balcony railing. And the two owls (they come as two) look convincingly lifelike. I will try and weight them and then rotate them in our garden. So far so good!

Not exactly Owl colouring, but certainly eye catching. The Owls seem to be well made and are great value for money at the price. Delivery was very quick considering I ordered on a bank holiday weekend.

The movement of the head does not return to the front of the owl when a breeze swings it Round. So I had to add a small washer retained by a self tapper screw. This added weighting directly below the mouth, which ensures one of them at least does not stick with the face /beak at the back of the head. The second one does not respond on the same way, it still, despite the weight will not return to the front. On closer inspection it looks like the spring inside the head may be askew.

If you have had problems from large birds like wood pigeons leaving an undesirable mess on your patio don't get the A-team get these instead! They are far more coast effective then having to feed BA baraccus alone for one wkd!! Great bird scarers these & work well for the price - just remember when you get them to take the stoppers out underneath & empty out what is in them which is a plastic sail to go on the back of the owls head & a pack of screws. I then filled mine up a bit with sand that makes them stand better in wind.

J'utilise les deux hiboux sur le rebord de la fenêtre pour éviter que les pigeons Viennent faire leurs excréments.

Lieferung erfolgte schnell. Die Eulen wirken auch sehr schön. Daher einen Stern. Nun was hat es gebracht?Nichts! die Raben halten kein bisschen Abstand. ca. 4 Tage hat es gedauert, da lag der Kopf abgerissen auf meinem Beet. Es sah schrecklich aus!Leider keine Kaufempfehlung!

I tempi di consegna sono stati un pò lunghi e purtroppo uno dei due gufi é arrivato senza un occhietto ma il venditore ha tempestivamente risolto il problema spedendomene un altro (che é arrivato integro).Svolge perfettamente la sua funzione ... niente più balconi e marciapiedi devastati dalla pupù dei piccioni! Ormai il ns. gufo é diventato parte della famiglia!Lo consiglio!!!
