The Big Cheese Wind-Action Owl Realistic, Humane Decoy Deterrent, Scares Birds from Gardens, Boats, and Vulnerable Buildings with Rotatable Head and Reflective, Life-Like Eyes

We bought this just over a year ago to watch over our new garden sofa which became a pigeon magnet immediately after we bought it! It looks reasonably realistic but the yellow colouring on the breast is a bit unusual. We started by placing it on a coffee table but without weighing it down by filling it with sand as recommended and not surprisingly it kept blowing over in the wind. A £1 broom handle from the hardware store satisfyingly whittled down to a sharp point to stick into the ground solved the problem as soon as the owl perched on the top end. The pigeons were initially undeterred and we added in a “Stop Bird Pro” device. The combination of the 2 deterrents was 100% successful after a few months. The Stop Bird Pro battery ran flat but the pigeons have not returned and I think the owl has done the trick. The head does rotate as advertised but only if you spin it with your fingers - not in the wind. Buy!

THIS IS STILL SITTING IN MY GARDEN AS I RE-SEEDED IT BUT THE BIRDS ARE STILL IN EVERY DAY & TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE OF IT. LOOKS GOOD BUT DEFO HAS'NT DETERRED ANY BIRDS. DIDNT DO THE JOB IT SAID IT WOULD, SORRY. LAURA N. ✌️😁✌️

A surprisingly effective bird deterrent that looks realistic and is lightweight enough to position almost anywhere in the garden. The wind-action movement adds a bit of unpredictability, which seems to help keep nuisance birds away from vulnerable areas. It's humane, easy to set up and weather resistant. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that some birds eventually seem to realise it's a decoy, so moving it occasionally helps maintain its effectiveness. Overall, a good value and attractive addition to the garden.

It didn’t have the desired effect that I was after as I had pigeons near it within 10 minutes of putting it out. Build quality seems ok but the head barely turns in the wind, it seems to serve more as a garden ornament rather than an actual deterrent to pigeons. The price was reasonable on Amazon as I had seen the exact same product in a garden centre for £25.

Excellent doing the job great value for money we bought two

I tried everything to get birds stop eating the grass seed, nothing worked until now. The owl actually works.

Owl was too light, kept blowing off the table before the head even turned and no decent way of securing owl to a ledge. However good size but quality questionable.

Do not purchase. Does not work. I purchased this and put it up instantly to stop piegons eating grass seed I had put down. Within an hour pigeons were in the garden and not bothered by this owl ornament. Contacted seller and I would have to pay return fee as not faulty or damaged. I would say its sole purpose is to stop birds landing in your garden so in my opinion it is faulty. Avoid the same mistake I made.

Es un búho muy bien conseguido , pero no me ha servido de nada pues las palomas de ciudad no se asustan y eso que lo puse junto a sonidos de búhos pero las palomas siguen . Yo le he puesto una cinta pasándola por dentro de la base haciendo una raja con un cuchillo a cada lado y así le ato a la barra de la terraza y le muevo de vez en cuando de sitio . La base es hueca y lleva un tapón por si se quiere llenar con tierra para que pese.

Finde ihn hübsch gemacht. Finden leider auch die tauben im hintergrund

Ottimo prodotto. Esattamente come in foto. da quando l’ho installato sul balcone i piccioni non si fanno piu’ vedere. Quindi è un ottimo deterrente.l’ho posizionato su un punto alto per essere ben visibile. Essendo leggero l’ho fissato con del silicone per evitare che il vento lo porti via. Lo consiglio! 👍

met de tijd weten duiven dat niet echt is

Installé sur la proue du bateau depuis une semaine, les mouettes se tiennent pour l'instant à distance. A voir comment elles vont réagir avec le temps.
