What Customers Are Saying
Most customers report the owl decoy successfully deters birds and squirrels from porches, gardens, and yards, with many noting reduced droppings and nesting. Reviewers praise its realistic, lifelike appearance and highlight that moving it regularly prevents habituation. However, a notable group finds it completely ineffective, reporting birds ignore or perch beside it, particularly crows and persistent species. Several mention it needs weighting to stay upright. Overall, most customers consider it worthwhile despite mixed results.

Keeps ducks away from pool
Would RecommendWe had a duck couple that were repeat visitors to our pool. We let the dogs chase them off, we put inner tubes in the pool - neither kept them away. We bought 2 of these owls and have not seen the ducks for 3 weeks now. I filled them with some sand to keep them in place. THESE OWLS WORK!!

No deterrent at all
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately this product did not deter the birds at all. My cat was a little frightened at first but not the birds! I will be returning it.

Great for lonely ducks
Would RecommendRecommend to a friend for entertainment purposes only. Placing the owl in various locations just makes it more difficult for the ducks to find him. Place it out in the open so they can say 'hi' when they land. That way, when they're done using the pool as their personal toilet, they'll leave, rather than swimming around looking for him and relieving themselves while in the process.
Don't waste your money!
Would Not RecommendThese things are USELESS at least for birds! I got them to keep the freeloading birds out of the cat food and from crapping all over our house and cars and and even with two of them they didn't care and even crapped on them! I even tried moving them around and didn't matter so don't waste your money!

The crows won’t leave me alone
Would Not RecommendThe owls did help with the amount of birds to stay away but I’m having trouble with keeping the crows away. And the reason for the this purchase was to see if they would help with keeping the crows from pecking at my windows around my house.

You have to poke a hole in the top to hang it up.
Would RecommendI set this owl on a post near the area where I was hearing the mockingbird (all night!). The mockingbird stopped keeping me awake! That’s an effective, non-violent deterrent!

Pathetic!!!
Would Not RecommendI wish I could leave less than one star for this piece of junk! It says it repels crows but NO! The crows come anyway and even play with it!! A complete waste of time and money.
This owl allivated the black bird problem I had.
