Great Horned Owl Sentry

Comments about Great Horned Owl Sentry:

I thought this owl was pretty and might scare pests away. It falls down a lot. I put it on a shepherds hook. It fell down. I put it on a nail on my wooden fence. It fell down. I put it in a different spot. It fell down. Right now it is on the ground. I even put some wire around the nail to secure it, but it still falls down.

The light reflects off the owl and sparkles the entire yard, when the sun is out. Yesterday I looked out and a bird was perched on the hook holding the owl. Guess the owl has made friends...

I was having trouble with birds pulling up seeds and seedlings from the garden and after hanging the owl in the middle I have been able to replant beans and corn and the birds have not touched them! Hurrah!!

Comments about Great Horned Owl Sentry:

I have a dark grey picket fence which gets "white-washed" regularly by birds. I hung one of these owls in a tree over one section of the fence, and immediately noticed that this section of the fence stayed virtually poop-free while the other areas of the fence continued to get bombed. I'll buy about 3 more to protect the rest of my fenced area.

Have used this product for years to keep woodpeckers from damaging the columns on front of our home. Gave this one to a friend who has gulls gathering on his roof. Not installed yet, but I think it will work.

Just a thin sheet of plastic

I hung this owl on the back of our boat to keep the buzzards from roosting under the sun roof. It seems to have worked quite well but now they are sitting all over the rest of the boat and leaving their hard-to-clean droppings. I am ordering 2 more to hang at the top and the bow. Not sure why people had trouble with the swivel breaking...mine is subjected to high winds whirling it around on a regular basis and has not broken. The only reason it could blow away is if you don't tie it on tight enough.

We needed something to keep birds and varmints out of a flower bed. The blossoms were being eaten at a terrific rate. We thought this flashy owl, being hung on a shepherd's hook in the bed, would do the trick. The wind would constantly either run it down the hook to the ground, or completely lift it off. We found it any number of times clear across our lawn and into the neighbor's yard. We have stopped using it until we can secure it on the hook.

Did not deter birds from the area at all. I looked out the window and there were birds right beneath it.
