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.

J'utilise les deux hiboux sur le rebord de la fenêtre pour éviter que les pigeons Viennent faire leurs excréments.

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!!!

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!
