Dalen Lifelike Great Horned Owl Decoy Bird Repellent - 16-in Hand-Painted

"MO" did what he was supposed to do-so far he has kept the birds from pooping on our deck! We filled the base with rocks and it with stood some pretty heavy wind we got! I move him around in different places on our deck each night.

Was happy, opened package and left on counter before taking it outside. scared the heck out of my wife and teen girls. One cried. Figured it would help with the increasing rat problem in my neighborhood. Still don’t know if it is working but was worth the cost just for the laugh.

I purchased this owl to keep birds dropping from my car and truck parked under my car port. So far it had worked fine.. I only had to fill it with sand for weight and place it where the birds can see it. It is very realistic.

Worked well in garden to scare squirrels and birds. However you definitely need to move it around as the other animals with figure it out. lol. Also works well as decorative piece.

Haven’t put ours out yet but our neighbors purchased one previously to keep birds off their handrail on their deck and it worked great - no droppings on handrail since putting Mr Owl out!

This fake owl arrived exactly as pictured and was easy to set up and use. Initially, it did work—within the first few days it successfully scared away a large bird that had been perching on my screen and leaving a mess on my patio. Unfortunately, the effectiveness didn’t last long. Because the owl is completely stationary, the birds eventually figured out it wasn’t real and returned as if nothing had changed. I wish I had known ahead of time that the deterrent effect would be so temporary. While the product looks fine and is simple to use, it was only effective for a very short period. If you’re considering this, be aware that without movement or repositioning, birds quickly catch on.

This works only if you remember to move the owl around every few days .

I had a several mockingbirds trying to take up residence in a large bush/tree beside my house. We think they came here from another house where they cut back all the big bushes. Anyway They made the most awful loud squawking noise throughout the day disturbing me while working from home. They would also fly by and dive bomb my cat when she tried to sit on the porch, intimidating her making her hide and try to come side. I researched how to get rid of them as they were becoming a nuisance to me and my cat and found this big beautiful horned owl. I sat him up on the city recycle bin right next to the tall bush/tree they had taken over. Amazingly, silence, nothing but the peaceful sound of regular birds chirping. After a day or so I moved him to the other blue recycle bin, as recommended, to make him look more life like. Sweet silence. I love this guy! When I opened the big box he was much bigger than I expected. The color and markings are very realistic and attractive. His eyes look so real! They look like glass and almost light up. It is plastic and feels light, but there is a hole in the bottom with a stopper that you can remove and fill with rocks, etc. to weight it down to stabilize it. I love this guy not only because he backs those mockingbirds up but he is beautiful - he is truly an asset to my yard. Would buy again 💯 percent!

Funciona de maravilla! Por meses una pareja de golondrinas se posaban en mi balcón a cagarse y cantar a las 4 de la mañana. Desde que puse al búho ya ni se acercan! Fantástico producto! Si funciona de verdad!!
