The block I work on is overrun with pigeons. It's like a home base for them where they rest and try to hump each other when they aren't out being disgusting in other parts of the city. They will just waltz through the open bay door pecking around at nothing, or fly in, looking to roost. The two other businesses nearby allow them to do that they want, and every corner of those places is littered with feathers, crap, and their air is filled with constant cooing. Well, that's not happening here. I have a zero-tolerance policy for pigeons entering our workplace. Here, they are greeted with hostility. Generation after generation gets chased out of here 100% of the time. And to a certain degree, I think my efforts have worked; that they've been conditioned to know that this is the door that they shouldn't pass under. There isn't much traffic anymore in terms of pigeons invading my space. I'm very happy with the progress we've made. Just stay outside, is all I asked of them.Well, they stay outside for the most part, and I'm happy about that. But they still give me problems. How? Well, our cars are outside, and our cars get pelted with bird droppings all day long. Oh, you just got a car wash this weekend? Too bad. Oh, it rained last night, and washed away a lot of the crap that they put on your car yesterday? Here's more to replace yesterday's strafing. A few weeks ago, I thought, I have had enough of this.Enter Homescape Creations holographic owls, lol. There is a residential house across the street, and they have the 3-D plastic owls, like 4 of them, on every corner of the house, to ward off pigeons. Those owls seem to work for them, but I wasn't about to spend all that money AND install the things for something that only might work, so I figured I'd try something cheaper first. The Homescape Owls were inexpensive, and had pretty good reviews. So I got a pack of two.Well, from the first second that first owl appeared from over the parapet, those pigeons were gone from in front of our shop. There hasn't been a new load of crap on my car since that morning. No one else's car, either. No pigeons walking in the open bay door. No flapping. No landing on the overhead lights. No incessant cooing. And no having to yell at pigeons, no throwing stuff at them, no chasing them off with a length of pipe. It's been really liberating. I can now enjoy a beautiful morning, and work with the door open, because I haven't had to chase pigeons away the whole time. The pigeons still run this block, don't get me wrong, but they are not a problem in front of THIS workplace at this time.It's not even been a week. I don't know if the owls will weather the elements very well, or if the stupid pigeons will get used to them and start acting like they own the place again. But so far, the owls work perfectly and I am very happy.

I live in So. Miami Fl and we have a problem with vultures in the late fall & winter. We live within 10 miles of a major county landfill and that attracts buzzards. These decoys work great & scaring them away and off my expensive screened patio. They last about six months in our hot sun and then the reflective material wears off. I use them from late October to April. I crimp a loop on heavy monofiliment onto to a H/D fishing snap swivel and hang them from the screen frames on a eye bolt. They swirl around & spoke the vultures. They also work on Peacocks which is another bird problem we have here now.

Of all the items sold to get rid of woodpeckers, this was one of the least expensive. I thought I would give it a try. First, it comes with a short lightweight string to attach it to something. Not sure how durable that will be outside. I connected it to a bird house pole, and it worked immediately, but it not only scared off the woodpeckers, but all the other birds that fed off my feeder in the back. I repositioned them in the front and left the back clear, and that’s helped, but the birds aren’t back in full force. At least the woodpeckers are still gone.

So I have a large variety of beautiful birds outside my patio. I noticed a pair of mourning doves roosting on a hanger area and thought they were cute. Then they had babies! How precious. The babies grew and started pooping everywhere. I let it slide because spring and it’s sweet ect. Then they flew away and I cleaned up their mess. Done, right?! No! The same pair came back and did it all again. I didn’t realize they essentially do this all the warm months. Just pooping babies out left and right! I couldn’t go outside due to poop bomb fear! So I started looking up methods to keep them away without scaring off the other birds.I found this shiny eye sore and it scared the heck out of my cat, so I thought it would work. I didn’t hang it at first because I didn’t want to scare off other birds, just these mourning doves. So I put it exactly where the doves have been building their nest. It worked for about 2-3 days. Then I found the dove trying to build a nest on the other side so I slapped them all out there. Some hanging some perched ect. The doves have seen through my ploy 😐. It was worth a shot! But didn’t work.

At first I liked these owls - lots of features to scare away birds - from the bells, to the reflective material, to the spinning spiral at the bottom. However, with a few swift winds, the spirals come off, the bells come off, and sometimes the primary grommet will rip out. I actually purchased a second set - but won't do that again. After having them in place for a couple of weeks, I noticed the birds in my sunflowers right beside and under these owls. You might want to find another solution.

bells are a good addition , bigger than expected , nice .

Funciona

a las pocas horas de ser instalados las palomas se pusieron al lado y no respetaron nunca ninguno de los espantapajaros . ni al reflejar ni al moverse

Looks good, haven't had a chance yet to install it.
