Solar Powered Owl

Works really well. We have a second floor back deck that we were growing strawberries on and the birds kept popping all over and eating the berries. Once I set out the owl the pooping slowed down and they stopped eating true berries. Followed the Instructions and moved him once a day. And had him face the crops. Wrapped him in a heavy duty black garbage bag for winter. Used dirt and rocks to weigh him down. Pretty sturdy as he got knocked down by a bird once and it was completely fine falling 15 feet.

I had a several mockingbirds trying to take up residence in a large bush/tree beside my house. We think they came here from another house where they cut back all the big bushes. Anyway They made the most awful loud squawking noise throughout the day disturbing me while working from home. They would also fly by and dive bomb my cat when she tried to sit on the porch, intimidating her making her hide and try to come side. I researched how to get rid of them as they were becoming a nuisance to me and my cat and found this big beautiful horned owl. I sat him up on the city recycle bin right next to the tall bush/tree they had taken over. Amazingly, silence, nothing but the peaceful sound of regular birds chirping. After a day or so I moved him to the other blue recycle bin, as recommended, to make him look more life like. Sweet silence. I love this guy! When I opened the big box he was much bigger than I expected. The color and markings are very realistic and attractive. His eyes look so real! They look like glass and almost light up. It is plastic and feels light, but there is a hole in the bottom with a stopper that you can remove and fill with rocks, etc. to weight it down to stabilize it. I love this guy not only because he backs those mockingbirds up but he is beautiful - he is truly an asset to my yard. Would buy again 💯 percent!

Keeps the creatures at bay. Looks good. Easy to fill.

He is very light but the ability to fill him with rocks in the bottom is great making him as heavy as you want. He is a pretty resin and bigger than you might think. Not one bird on my patio since.

This fake owl arrived exactly as pictured and was easy to set up and use. Initially, it did work—within the first few days it successfully scared away a large bird that had been perching on my screen and leaving a mess on my patio. Unfortunately, the effectiveness didn’t last long. Because the owl is completely stationary, the birds eventually figured out it wasn’t real and returned as if nothing had changed. I wish I had known ahead of time that the deterrent effect would be so temporary. While the product looks fine and is simple to use, it was only effective for a very short period. If you’re considering this, be aware that without movement or repositioning, birds quickly catch on.

This works 100%, this has kept all the crows and pigeons away from my whole apartment complex, I usually see them every morning and throughout the day and this owl has scared them away on day 2. This is a miracle worker for me.

Pigeons are gone

I have crazy birds literally trying to peck away and destroy my house. They have pecked multiple holes large enough for them to nest in. Nothing except sitting outside with a water spray bottle in hand seems to be able to keep them away. In that context, this owl seems to have deterred many of them. It certainly isn't the end-all solution but it has had an impact for sure. On the pros side it is lightweight and easy to move around, and also very lifelike so I feel like it is pretty effective for its intended purpose. On the cons side, because it is so light, it needs to be secured in place or the slightest breeze is sure to knock it over. That makes for a second downside because there is no provided mechanism for attaching it to anything. There is a slight indent underneath that could be used to set it atop a circular pillar or something, but no instructions were provided for how to do this. The best bet seems to be glue it down (which would reduce its effectiveness as instructions did say to move it every couple of days to make it seem more lifelike) or attach it impermanently with tape. Overall a 4 star item. Would be a 5 star if it came with instructions and hardware for mounting it, or was heavy enough to not topple over in the wind. But it gets the job done.

De excelente calidad y cumple su funcion Vale la pena la inversion y tengo limpia el area de jardin que siempres estaba llena de desechos de los pajaros Ampliamente recomendada

This owl is brilliant, looks real from a distance. It kept pigeons away for a while but they get used to it. It does say keep moving it around but one can't if it's secured down. Packaging was not brilliant but arrived in good order, its also a bit pricey. But hey it's ok.

Esto y nada es lo mismo, los pajaros saben perfecto que es de mentiras y lo ignoran al robarse mis blueberrys

Great Product 👍

It kept the birds from crapping on my window in my sunroom. I put it on the roof of my sunroom for a few days , then moved it to the lawn . Seems to work , haven’t had to rewash windows …
