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.

Don't waste your money as these don't work. They do not scare anything off, the birds just ignore them, they are not fooled in to thinking these are real owls to be scared of and happily fly close, walk around and sit near them. A total waste of money as bird scares but they look ok as garden ornaments!

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

Very good value with 2 Owls for the price of one elsewhere. Easy to set up but not sure if they will deter, but look good. I have added some reflective hanging owls as well so the garden has sunlight reflections as well as these. I think they make the garden look nice and the grandkids love these! will update when I have evidence they are deterring pigeons.

This was a great buy. I had a problem with birds eating in my neighbours' garden and then pooping in mine (the patio would be covered every day). I put one of the owls on the fence in my back garden a few weeks back and I havent had to clean up bird messes once since then! It is quite big and looks very realistic so it took a couple of days to stop jumping every time I looked out and saw a great big owl but that's a price I'm willing to pay. I gave the second owl to my other neighbour who put it in their front garden, and that seems to have sorted the problem for them as well! Great product.

A nice product, does the trick. However, just a slight criticism, the plastic wind piece in my opinion should be a permanent fix, not temporary. Mine constantly falls out! Maybe I should superglue it in. I am happy with them though and if they continue to scare off the pigeons I'm happy. Sharon and Ozzy (the names for my owls) are fixed to the aerial with screws directly into the metal frame and tie wraps to hold in place. They have done the trick and so many people have commented on how fab they look. I’ve sent the link to so many people. Thank you so much for a great product.

The product is as it’s stated in the description, if you are buying this as a garden ornament, it’s fine, as a pigeon scarer, look for an alternative as this doesn’t work. It seemed to scare of the pigeons for a for a few days but they soon got used to it and even land right next to it.

Had pigeons under my bagola pooing all over my chairs and bbq .... put these up and problem solved straight away they won't come near now excellent

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!!!
