Fake Owl with Rotating Head and Sound, Plastic Owl Statues for Garden

I was originally frustrated because I could not open the battery compartment. The culprit was a tiny screw in the lid of the compartment. Once opened, the owl took three double A batteries. Boy, this owl is loud! It's just what I needed to scare away the bandit squirrels who inhabit my backyard. (Each year, they eat the produce in my garden before I can retrieve it.) The owl's head rotates completely around and looks like the real thing. The only problem I may encounter if it keeps my neighbors up at night. If that happens, I can just turn the sound effects off with a flip of a switch on the bottom. Even silent the head movements are enough to make these squirrels think twice before descending into my garden!

The owl's sensor range is not the best, i.e. location does only pick up objects that walk directly within 3 feet of it. It sits on my pool deck and i have it tied to our fence. i kept it in the event a duck gets close.

I screwed it onto a piece of scrap lumber(free from the lumber store). Keeps the rabbits from eating my kohlrabi. I would definitely recommend.!

This item looks ok, but that’s all it has going for it. The motion detection is very limited in distance and height. It makes noise if I wave my hand right in front of it, but not if I walk by. The battery compartment is on the bottom so the owl must be unscrewed if you need to change the batteries. The screws provided are very small and don’t have a hole guide to get them to whatever base you find to use. The screw to the battery compartment is extremely small, needing a magnifying glass and special small screwdriver. I would not buy again or recommend.

I purchased to scare away the birds defecating around my pool. It has helped some but took a few days to see improvement. I also had to figure out a way to secure it into place but once secured it is helping.

Received what I thought would be a decent deterrent, at least for a while until the birds get used to it. May as well have put a ham sandwich out there. Within 10 minutes, 2 robins sat right next to it, they coulda cared less. I was trying to keep the birds from fouling an outdoor railroad track, but this sure isnt the answer. Sparrows,robins, blackbirds, it doesnt matter. Another toy for the grandchildren, thanks Amazon.

I like that this will make a noise if something gets close. Helps keep unwanted rodents away. I like the movement of the head. My puppy though it was real.

I planted my pumpkins only to catch one of the local squirrels feasting on the seeds a few days later.Also, the local squirrels love to torture our dogs when they are outside in their kennel.So far, this has scared our poor little pocket beagle to death but apparently it freaks the squirrels out too :DI've only had it a week but I think it's been worth the money I spent. I am moving it every couple of days so the squirrels don't catch on.

The whoever when attached to post stopped working altogether. If we didn't need it for bird control it woukd have gone back. Won't buy again Won't recommend
