Bird-X Prowler Owl Predator Decoy

This is a joke at best. If you want something to laugh at go for it if you want an actual deterrent forget it. I've found the sonic ones are much much more effective.

THESE WORK. I have chickens and a few have been kiled by chickehawks so as a deterrent I bought three of these and put them on 20 foot high steel poles. No more chickenhawks!!!! These work so well!!!! One problem is thought that they are not durable. One small storm and they wont make it through it the wings will fall apart etc. We had a mild rainstorm with mild winds and the owls did not make it through this small rainstorm. I will kind of hoping the company would send me a couple of replacements in lieu of the ones that went bad.

I got the owl to keep the raccoons, squirrels and red robins out of my yard as they were tearing up my lawn. Note, you will have to buy your own pole, I got mine at Home Depot (haven't had time to paint it yet). I put it next to the a/c unit in my yard so the air coming out the back of the a/c causes the wings to flap. On windy days the owl looks like it's ready to take off. I haven't seen a raccoon, squirrel or red robin since I put it in my yard.

Personalmente come ho aperto la scatola mi aspettavo qualche cosa di meglio per i soldi dati, poi non funziona affatto allo scopo, quindi ho speso soldi per nulla...

De entrada, el artículo no era nuevo a estrenar, la caja no estaba precintada y el buho presentaba señales de uso e incluso tenía una ala rota que tuve que sellar con cinta adhesiva transparente. Tenía tal invasión de tordos en el huerto que no me podía permitir la devolución del producto y decidí instalarlo aún habiéndolo pagado como nuevo. En este sentido, fatal. Por lo que se refiere a la función disuasoria del producto, en general la cantidad de aves (tordos, palomas, cotorras argentinas, etc), ha disminuído, pero siguen acercándose al árbol en cuanto hay un fruto listo para consumir, quizás en menos cantidad, pero siguen viniendo. He conseguido mantener un poco a raya los pájaros y salvar parte de la cosecha colgando bolsas con granulado repelente de aves como complemento al buho. Recomiendo la combinación de sistemas, porque las aves son listas y se acostumbran a que el buho no se mueve (aunque las alas tienen cierto movimiento con el viento), ven que el bicho sigue en su rama y ellas pueden saquear el árbol con total impunidad. Hoy instalaré también tiras de cinta reflectiva.
