Birds Scaring Hawk Flying Kite with Pole Professional Pigeon Scarer

This is great. I have the owl and the eagle. The owl is a better flyer but, both work.We had to retie a few knots until we got the right knots. We had to move them a few times to get them out from under trees I had no idea they could reach.They make me happy every day.We have had them for about a month.

Update: String broke and bird blew away.Initial Review: The day I carried this down to my pier the small birds were chattering at me because they didn’t like it. The ducks have swam around my pier but stayed clear and check out the photo. The seagulls are thick on my neighbors’ boat lift canopies but mine is clear with no bird droppings!!Great flight action and durable in strong winds.

I’ve had this hawk for a couple days and the first day we put it up, a bird flew and stood right next to the hawk flying around. I feel like there have actually been more birds than before. Save your money. I had high hopes but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

This may be the best product I’ve ever purchased thru Amazon. We not longer have green stuff on our sneakers because the geese are petrified of it. It looks so real when it’s flying around. I’m just ticked I didn’t think of this product first. Wicked great product!

The media could not be loaded. This kite is amazing. We were losing a chicken or two a day to Hawks after the leaves all fell off and the weather started to stay cold and cloudy. I purchased this in October and it has been flying without issue since.We needed a solution. Out of the box this was entirely too short for our needs in Western Pennsylvania, however, I had a fly fishing pole and a section of hurricane fence top rail, along with a 3 foot length of rebar, so I was able to extend the height to well over 20 feet getting it both up high enough that it did not freak out the chickens, and so that it keeps the smaller predators away.I am trying to say, this thing is great, but you need a bit more equipment to make it absolutely awesome. You can get the extra fly fishing rod on Amazon as well, just search for B&M Blk Widow 5 Sect 16.5 Rigged' - BW5RR and that may be enough for you. Otherwise your local hardware store will have the top rail and the rebar for another probably close to $50 investment.I would say it is very durable because it survived a very cold and wet winter here. It flies super easily with the slightest breeze and I have seen it flying really high and taut in really tough winds. I was initially unsure if it would be worth the money but since it has now protected my chickens for half a year, and since I got it rigged up high enough, I have not lost a single bird; it is absolutely a good value for the money.

The media could not be loaded. I don’t know what it is about this year, but I had some very aggressive, territorial robins and mockingbirds attacking the glass windows and doors of my home. Their thumping, scratching, and the bird droppings are annoying. I tried stationary owls, which they quickly figure out were fake so don’t bother with those… Then I tried kaleidoscopic owl shaped window decals, which also did not work. I saw this, read the reviews, and thought I would give it a try. It works very well, better than anything so far… Only problem is without a breeze it will just hang near the ground. After a few hours of this the birds become emboldened and once again will start coming back… The motion of this is what really scares them away so when you have a breeze, it works fantastic but without it, you may notice them trying to come back… Still the best thing so far. Once the breeze picks back up and it flies they will stay away…

The pole is not sturdy enough to hold up to winds. Winds are necessary for kite to fly and to be effective at deterring pest birds.Kite is very effective in winds and wings flutter nicely.In order to use, however, the pole broke completely. Trying another one, but my hopes are not high. Perhaps fans will be required when winds are not present. Will probably return for refund.

Hands-down, the best deterrent I’ve found for my backyard to get rid of the birds pooping all over everything. I am on my second one in about six months, but I think the effectiveness is worth every penny.
