Bird Scarer Kite With 4m Pole Crop Protector Bird Hawk Flying kite-Type A | Deterrent for Gardens Farms and Docks丨Keeps Birds, Geese and Seagulls Away丨Outdoor Bird Control

Easy to assemble . Flys well doing its job at keeping the birds away . Tears easy in high winds , but I have repaired the tear & it still works .

Scared the seagulls away but it is made of poor quality materials, the rods tore through the fabric after one windy day, tried to reinforce with strong tape but they tore through again. Not fit for purpose in British weather.

Used to protect garden apple trees from blackbirds and jackdaws. I estimate that it was 90% effective in keeping jackdaws from the apple crop, about 50 -60% effective against blackbirds. The best deterent I have found to reduce fruit loss due to birds as it is not practical to net the trees. I bought one last year and a second one this year. Well designed and made; however, an improvement would be if the kite was attached to the end of the rod through a swivle (when tied on direct the chord eventually broke, also the chord sometimes wraps around the pole).

When it's working in the wind it's a moving fluttering deterrent, and I've not seen any of the expected pigeons near my newly seeded lawn area. BUT: 1) It's the usual sort of telescopic rod arrangement that you pull out and twist to lock in place. However, for the life of me I cannot get the top section to stay up for more than a day. It collapses down after a time, which unfortunately means that I either have to have the line to the kite quite short or the bird catches the ground if the line length is set to full pole length. 2) As per other reviews of many of these things despite the rotating attachment at the top of the pole, the string does get wound round the pole until the kite will no longer fly. As a result of the two above issues I basically have to go and reset the scarer each morning. On the plus side, however as stated I have not had any pigeons, but I do also have lots of the reflective tape deployed and the small rotating windmills

Amazing! We have seen no seagulls since installing 😊

I unwrapped this item and put it together as per the video instructions. As I pushed the holding pole into my lawn, it broke. It is ridiculously fragile. So now I have to use it with my outdoor parasol stand which is a pain as it's very heavy to move, and I have to move it daily otherwise it will kill the grass underneath. Cheap and poor quality holding pole ruins an otherwise ok product.

We’ve had this in our garden since April. Today we shortened the string so it flies higher which has had some good results. Yearly we have been plagued by gulls and just wish everyone made their chimneys inhospitable, We have not been able to go in our garden when their young arrive without an umbrella for protection of us and our dogs. Does it work? I’d say yes, fingers crossed, lots of twigs up there but no birds. I think this falcon might drive them back to the cliffs where they belong. It’s worth a try and the signs are good 😊

Lasted 2 days tied as instructed but has blown away. Complete waist of £40

Perfecto

Niente più volatili sulla mia barca! Grazie

Is not really flying as it should

Superbe conception ça fonctionne parfaitement. Bon ça fonctionne quand il y a du vent seulement, donc inefficace si pas de vent. Mais à la moindre petit brise il s’envole et fait fuir tous les animaux du coin (pigeon, palombe, tourterelles, héron, piaf, etc.). C'est du solide. Il s’emmêle un peu les pinceaux si trop de vent donc à surveiller de temps en temps pour le démêler.

Ich habe jahrelang eine lästige Tauben -und Amselplage gehabt. Jede Ernte ist nahezu komplett ausgefallen, da standing alle Früchte abgerupft worden sind. Die schweren Tauben haben auch viele Äste und Pflanzen zerstört. Samen wurden aus den Böden geholt etc. Hinzu kam der viele Kot der hinterlassen wurde. Ich habe von Netzen, diversen Tierattrappen (Raben, Krähen etc), Glitzer Bänder, Spiegelketten, Ultraschall, Vogelscheuchen und meinen eigenen Katzen alles versucht. Die Viecher hatten vor nichts Angst, selbst vor Menschen nicht mehr. Ein Freund hat mir diesen „Drachen“ empfohlen. Und der hat direkt geholfen. Aufbau super einfach. Der Teleskopstab hat eine gute Höhe und ist sehr stabil. Der Bussard ist Stabil und groß. Er fliegt perfekt im Wind und macht einen imposanten Eindruck. (Nachbarn hatten schon Angst) Lediglich die Halteschnur ist schon einige Male gerissen. Ich habe diese durch ein Stahlvorfach aus meinem Angelkasten ersetzt. Nun hält alles. Die Vögel sind weg. Zumindest in der großen Masse. Selten sind mal 1-2 da und damit kann ich durchaus leben. Die Attrappe sollte dazu dienen, die Plage von meinen Beeten loszuwerden- das hat ideal gewirkt. Vögel sind trotzdem noch im Garten. Nur eben die Plagegeister nicht mehr
