bazzabaker71 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 I have ordered a fake owl, the one with the spinning head to deter the sparrow hawks, the thing is will it scare my young birds ? I have a telephone pole about 20 meters from the loft and i was going to put it up there, the hawks will be able to see it for miles, as im very open, but so will the pigeons ! any help would be great
andy Burgess Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 we have a plastic owl here too (and a telegraph pole in the garden) . in all honesty NEITHER will take any notice of it
Guest chad3646 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 they dont work m8 waste of money correct walter they dont work the reason i am saying this i was down visiting jimmy tallis of blantyre when i noticed these two plastic owls on the out houses, i asked jimmy are they scaring the hawks, he never even got the answer out when a sparrowhawk pulled a blue bar out of the sky
walterboswell59 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 the sparrow hawk skims the over the the top of mine by a few feet to attack mine m8 there no fools
THE FIFER Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 to take effect (if they do) you must keep moving them, I have them and a fake hawk, the garden birds sit on them , but they look the part
KMCK Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 We have a plastic King Fisher on top of the a hut that is about 6 foot from the lofts never seen a BOP near the lofts and the Pigeons don't bother with it.
