Hausse Solar Fake Horned Owl Statue, Solar Powered Halloween Motion Activated Scarecrow Deterrent Owl with Red Eyes, Scary Sound Scare Birds Away for Garden Yard Outdoor

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.

Does not work ! Sat the in the sun for 10 hours walked by it DIRECTLY in front about an inch away IN DAYlight and it screeched and the eyes went off. I thought GREAT it works. Brought it inside in a PITCH DARK room..... waved my hand DIRECTLY in front of it 2 feet, 1 foot, 6 inches, 1 inch DIRECTLY TOUCHING the motion detector area, tried covering the solar panel with my hand and ............ NOTHING no screech no red eyes........ZIP!! Many Animals are Nocturnal. If this doesn't work at night OR if in DAYlight the animal essentially needs to be ON THE OWL .... how can this work. And NO instructions to troubleshoot just "Bird in a Box". The only good thing it its a nice size and "looks scary" but I don't think the "looks" of a plastic owl will scare away animals (Racoon and Deer in particular) I was very excited to order this and now I am VERY disappointed !

This doesn't really work properly - the laser eyes and/or the sound are either always on or always off. But it's a plastic, terrifying owl with laser eyes - the motion sensor is not bothering me, I bought this because it's hilarious and it scares people coming in to my yard at night. Totally worth it. If I thought my HOA would allow it, I'd buy more. Scary, laser eyed owls everywhere.Oh - the solar panel worked for about five minutes. Use the battery option.

Setting 1 (sound) does NOT work at night. I want sound at night too, or at least the option for it. The bird calls are amusing and not too loud. The glowing red eyes are awesome. I haven't decided if I will return it or not because of not having sound at night. Need a little time to test it out. Bought it because rabbits are eating my flowers. I was hoping this would keep them away, hence the nighttime sound.

I had no luck with this particular bird however, after reading my review (below), the company reached out to me and offered to make it right.I experienced Excellent Customer Service.My air conditioning man attached the bird to my air unit due to the amount of pigeons who were pooping all over the unit and my roof. The fake bird worked fine when he placed it there,however we could not hear it or see the lights flash from the ground. Unfortunately, the pigeons are not affraidof it and actually hang out with it. Sometimes there are dozens of them up there. I can't return it without paying for a service call. My plan backfired.

If you're using this to scare critters, from what I can tell it doesn't work. I actually saw a squirrel checking it out. With the placement of the solar panel and lack of anything to hand or mount it with, placement is limited. I've considered returning it.3JUL22: I'm amending my review. I turned this on to the red eye mode and when I went to clean up after my dog, I realize that there are no deer dropping in the yard. I'm going to assume that means that the red eyes are keeping deep out of my yard.

Bought 2 of these for Mom's porch. There are 2 pigeons there that make her life impossible and poop on things. Well... The owls scared off the pigeons for a while. But thing is... Birds are smart and the pigeons noticed the owls don't move. They even knockeythem over 🤦🏻‍♀️. And the owl noise doesn't always go off. So now we have 2 handsome static owls on the porch snd two odious mobile pigeons still about.

I secured the product using the included metal brackets and screws. We had a windy day a few days later and found that the screws ripped right out of the owl. that is because the screws only attach through the thin 1mm thick plastic. There is no material inside to anchor the screws so they rip right out with little effort. This is a huge design flaw. Also the rechargeable batteries included with the unit were dead on arrival. The seller offered me $7 compensation for that which was pretty cheap given that I saved them from paying shipping on the return of the whole item. The motion sensor doesn't seem to work very well. It has a very tiny field of view and a very small depth of sight. Altogether it's a very cheap and poorly engineered item. I can't encourage anyone in any situation to buy this. The electronic part of the product doesn't work effectively. The batteries were dead. You can't mount this to anything without wind ripping out the screws. It's too lightweight to set on the ground without it tipping over from wind. An altogether poorly designed product.
