AndBirdPlastic Owl Decoy to Scare Birds Away with Rotating Head/Eyes,Garden Owl for Bird Control,Owl Scarecrow Statues as The Yard Decoration,Shape Outdoor

This helped keep most birds away from my lemon tree, not all but most. Worth it for the price, still looks great even after months in the Fl Sun.

There were a few reviews that mentioned a missing clear plastic fin that appears in the product images. Well, I found it ! It’s in the hollow body of the owl. Just take the red plug out of the bottom, shake the owl, and the plastic fin should drop towards the bottom hole along with three screws. The fin and the screws are in individual plastic protective coverings. I only just set up the owl this morning so I don’t have any opinion yet on whether it works to deter birds or not. I’ll update later after using the owl for a week or so. Our neighborhood looks like a scene from that Hitchcock movie, “The Birds” so Mr. Hootie Owl has some challenges ahead.UPDATE 7/27/2023. This owl works pretty well to discourage birds. They tend to keep flying rather than landing in the back yard. It helps to move the fake owl now and then so the birds don’t get too used to its presence. Not a perfect solution but it helps.

I bought this in the hopes that it would keep birds from pooping all over my wife's new car. I didn't expect it to work honestly; but it did. the birds decided to stay out of the tree over her car. Now the quality is not great but hey it was cheap and it did the job!

I purchased this item and like the way it looks. However, in my experience, claims that the head rotates are misleading. The pictures of the owl in the product page seem to show a clear tab on the back of the head which I assumed the wind could grab onto causing the head to rotate or at least bobble. However, the product I purchased has no such tab and there is nothing for wind to grab onto to cause the head to rotate. While the head will bobble if you physically move the "owl", it most certainly does not rotate in the face of even reasonably forceful heads. I would suspect it would take a hurricane or a leaf blower to get the head to rotate when set down by itself. I thus find the pictures, videos and claims made for this product deceptive. Nonetheless, I am giving the product a 3 star review and am keeping it as I simply like its looks. But it will behave no better than a frozen statue and I have no hopes of it keeping away any vermin out of the garden.

This owl doesnt scare any birds away as advertised. The heads need a good breeze for them to rotate. And even then it is hit or miss that the head will move. Just seeded lawn and birds loved these owls. They did nothing to scare them. Dont waste your money. If you need to scare off birds but the Ugold solar powered garden owl. I sent these junky owls back, and bought the Ugold owl. Wow! Not a bird on my lawn since i put him out there. Solar powered. Detects motion (birds) all over my 700 sq ft lawn. I wish i had bought the Ugold owl years ago. Very impressive. But this product i am reviewing now, is Junk. Unless you just want a decoration.

Was not what I expected

I Purchased this to keep those small animals away from my chicken coop and from their food. Recently had baby chicks and had hawks flying around. Once I had this out in the open they came less frequently. Do recommend!

I got this owl for my dad's birthday. He really loves it. I have no idea how effective it is at keeping any animal away from his garden but it sure looks like a hunter on patrol. The head swivels in the wind.

IMG_8537.jpgThe balcony was littered with bird droppings. It looks nice and tidy after adding the owl. I will recommend it to my neighbours.

Didn't think the quality was that good for the price and it doesn't do what I hoped and that was to keep pigeons out of the garden

I got my owl fairly quick and I filled up with stones to weigh it down and head does move in good breeze move or not. Have not had a pigeon land on my balcony since I put him out. I even illuminate him with solar lights at night to let birds know he is watching. Not to bother resting there. It works and is esthetically pleasing. Only reason for 4 stars is very thin plastic and need good breeze for head to move. But it WORKS which is the point. No more discussing disease ridden pigeons on my balcony. Which is worth the money to me.Recommend for pigeon deterant.

Hoped the product would do what it said by scaring pigeons but they just sit next to it

Non as advertisedLooks very realistic , but does not scare birds .1. Came without the tub , (as you can see on the advertise picture) , No rotating from wind .2. Steel bearing - very poor quality , barely rotating . I took a part , sealed type bearing . Bearing sized . Even few drops of oil doesn't help . Of cause , bearing can be replaced , but not worse time and money .3. Hot glued old credit card as a tub , no rotation .Any way , go to keep it as decoration on balcony .
