Guest Owen Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 A friend has given me a CD of a European Eagle Owl calls to try out. Does anyone know if these sounds work? Things are desperate in this area because the peregrine is taking youngsters at will. We have tried most things with the exception of bird scarer rockets but nothing works.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Heard of some saying they work, but I think you have to use all the deterrents on a rotational basis to keep them guessing. Any that work only last a time and the BOP become used to them, so I think a change would possibly work again. The problem with the Peregrine is that they don't always take them at the loft and you can't hang deterrents in mid air.

clockman Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Because you cannot play them loud enough without annoying your neighbours , Tammy was too miserable to put a farling in the meter Hope you got a refund,
DOVEScot Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Hope you got a refund, Naw it cost me a plastic eagle owl as well, it's still swinging in the wind, the sparrow hawk used to sit on it before I relocated it
Guest Owen Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Well it is back to the rockets again by the looks of it. I have the bird scarer rockets designed for farmers and they work really well but the draw back is that they give off a very loud bang and people complain about the noise and the fact that the dead rocket can fall anywhere. Thanks for your replies lads.

billt Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 I presume you are not watching Springwatch on BBC, a couple of evenings ago they had an Eagle Owl in the studio and in the conversation it was stated the RSPB said 64 escape captivity every year and are breeding in the wild, I don't know where they get these figures but as we all know the RSPB can be cavalier with their numbers
