Hausse Solar Powered Fake Owl Decoy Scarecrow Decoy with Flashing Eyes Frightening Sound, Pest Repeller Garden Yard Outdoor Decoration

Thin plastic does not justify the price. Seems to have no effect on other birds or animals....

Les yeux allumes pas et il ne fonctionne pas a energie solaire mais aux batterie AA

I had hoped the owls would rid of birds that were messing on my front porch. They make a good ornament, but do not scare away birds. The birds flew under the porch as usual. They pay no attention to them. I thought at one point the birds were going to build a nest on the top of one of the owls. But, thankfully that has not happened yet.*****UPDATE!******I have to take back all I said in the preview. After the birds had TIME to realize there may be danger, they never came back. I have been very satisfied ever since. My apologies for the too hasty bad review.

We live on the corner lot with lots of bushes and trees behind us, while the rest of the neighborhood is more city like with small yards and no bushes. We also have a retaining wall made of large boulders, a perfect place for critters to hide. We've seen rabbits, one rat, a weasel, squirrels, moles, voles....you get it.I can't call gramps over to kill critters because he is up in the great hunting ground in the sky. So I want to repel things. This thing works! It's loud, solar powered (even in dark old Seattle), and the motion detection is great! It's very lightweight, almost too light. You might have to put something against it to keep it up. I use some rocks.Requires no technology set up and has an on off button and battery backup. I LOVE it. Fun motion activated thing for Halloween too!Just to add onto this. It doesn't ALWAYS work, not all the time. It's also very light and will tip over so plan on some screwing in of these screws or weighting it down. I took that plastic wrap that you use for packaging, the kind on a roll and wrapped it around the owl and a rock. It looks really bad, really tacky, but he stays up.

Product not really effective!
