We had a problem with 100's of Barn Swallow birds nesting in the maintenance shop at work every summer. Bird poop gets on everything, birds diving at you, dead babies on the floor, live babies on the floor (get the picture?), etc. It's been a mess for years.I initially purchased just one of these owls. I first tested it on my front porch due to some birds nesting on my columns. It didn't get those birds to leave but I ran all of my wife's hummingbirds away for days (oops - she was pissed - LOL).I took it to work and placed it on a container about 10 feet high. Within 5 minutes there was a hundred plus birds diving at it. It was quite a sight to see. Over the next week or so, we could tell that this SOB works. There was less birds each day.I purchased 2 more so that I could cover the entire building. We now have about 20% of the number of birds that we had. I think that the ones that stayed had babies already. I'll get it out sooner next year.I can't tell you that it will work for other birds. But it works on Barn Swallow species........oh - works on hummingbirds to. 😁

I put sand in owl to add weight and it was sufficient, of course you can add small stones. WORKED FIRST DAY USED. Had 2 HAWKS that were attacking and getting my birds and squirrels which I feed. Purchased 2 and placed them in my yard. Hawks came every day at 6:15am, 6:45pm. These are the times I was able to see since I work. Heard them verbally at these times. Saw them perch and attack. NO LONGER. Best buy ever. If your feeding birds or squirrels, place away from feeders, where the HAWKS will see them and EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE happy.

Plastic bird. The one I got the eyes were not glued on "straight." A little self adjustment fixed the issue, but just so you know, this is ultimately a piece of plastic with glued on parts (eyes) and airbrushed paint job.From a proper distance and (hopefully) for a bird they can't tell the difference.Four mounting options:1. Stick a stick into it. The bottom has a cap that you can open and stick a rod in it to hold up the owl.2. Open the cap and pour sand into it, and cap it. The weight of the sand will hold up the owl. Don't try water. Water will leak out.3. Tie the owl down to the top of the post. There's a little zip-tie hook/anchor point.4. String it up and hang it from something. There's a hook/anchor point the top of the owl.Obviously #4 mounting option is the least realistic. I think even a bird will figure that out.According to articles I have read, the best way to use owls is to move them around every so often. Birds will quickly smart the situation and ignore the threat. Because of this insight, I am thinking stick mounting (option #1 above) makes it harder to move around every week or so. And climbing on top of the roof is not an everyday thing. So, it's gonna be a challenge to move the owls around frequently.Also, according to some other articles, the owls attract crows. The crows will gather and group dive bomb the owl in territory dispute situations. So you may end up attracting a murder. It hasn't happened to me yet but I am looking out. A group of them do seem to be squawking a lot lately in the neighborhood since the owl went up.But the pigeons didn't seem to feel threatened by the owl so far...Damn birds. Why do you have to be so difficult!

I purchased this owl decoy in hopes to keep very stubborn birds from building a nest on the top of my front door and pooping all over my patio!This product provides 4 different ways you can mount it. You can simply put something into the bottom of it, such as a tree branch, stick, or pole. You can put sand into it by removing the bottom cap and filling it so that it can sit upright on the ground or some other flat surface (don't try water like I did, it leaked out within a few minutes). You can tie the owl down with a zip-tie using the hook on the bottom. Or last, but not least, you can strip it up to anything overhead using the hook on the top.For the first week, it worked flawlessly, birds were frightened by it and would not come near it. After about a week, they mustered up courage and started to come closer and to rebuild their nest over my front door. I moved the owl to another location on my front patio, as many online articles suggest doing, and the birds once again became scared. After another week the birds came back once again. Getting tired of constantly having to move the owl around, I opted for a different solution and installed an anti-bird strip (a piece of metal with spikes) above my door as a more permanent solution.During this time, two different, much more aggressive and large birds decided to make a newly planted tree in my backyard their home. I wouldn't really have an issue with it, but every time I would go onto the back patio to grill they would dive bomb me. One time I was out in the yard and I noticed the birds were flying around across the street and I moved the owl into the tree by sticking an upright branch through the bottom of it. The two evil birds haven't since returned and it has been over a month.

I cannot speak to how well this decoy will frighten away birds, but I can tell you it is a great Halloween item.You can fill the bottom with sand (it has a removable plug) so that it is heavy enough to stand upright in a stiff wind. There is also a small circle at the top so you can hang it with a piece of twine or fishing line. It is durable enough that it would last several years if left outdoors every day (we did this with one in our orchard several years ago) and will last forever if used indoors as seasonal decoration. MUCH less expensive than traditional Halloween blow molds of similar size and it’s better quality. I chose this owl bc of the size and dynamic paint job. I am not disappointed.

Francamente, en cuanto llegó el artículo, me pareció bien bonito y de buena calidad. Lamentablemente, a los minutos después la figura comenzó a descarapelarse del color blanco en su cara. Tuve qué repintarla con corrector. Por otra parte, como es hueca hay que rellenarla con piedras u otro material que haga peso porque es MUY ligera.

El producto llegó en muy buen tiempo.Es de muy buen tamaño, es totalmente plástico, se ve muy bonito y si ha ahuyentado a las aves del lugar que se pretendía.Solo lleva un par de días colocando.

Excelente, desde que lo pusimos hace ya dos meses ninguna paloma se a acercado se acabó el problema porque siempre nos ensuciaban la camioneta y eso ya se acabó

Es preciso mover la figura de lugar para lograr el engaño. Aun así, luego de unas semanas, los invasores (palomas, en mi caso) se acostumbraron y ya no me sirve.

Buen producto, bien hecho, pero con el tema de las palomas no ayuda demasiado...
