I ordered Owl because we had a pair of ducks who had somehow discovered our tiny little pool, and had proceeded to land on the deck every day, swim in the pool, fowl the pool, the deck, everything, with their fowl poop. So, after an internet search on how to scare away ducks, I ordered Owl.
Technically, Owl does everything it is described to do. It looks real. It looks mean. The solar-powered head turns, as long as the sun can hit the solar panel. We moved it around the pool, as suggested. The ducks weren't fooled. They kept coming, sometimes flying near or landing right next to Owl. I'm pretty sure by now they have Friended Owl on Facebook.
We resorted to other measures . . . and we appear to have gotten rid of the ducks . . . first by spraying them with the hose whenever they arrived (they always announce their arrival with their quacks), sometimes by throwing tennis balls at them (never hitting them, because our aim isn't that good, but good enough to scare them) and then by hanging / stringing obstacles over the pool to make it uninviting to land / swim in. Haven't seen them in about a week. Owl has filed a grievance for loss of companionship.
The good news about Owl is that a stray cat ventured into our back yard the other day, stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Owl, then slowly backed away and exited the yard via the same path he had entered. Wish I had a video of that. I don't think they are Friends on Facebook yet.

Was looking for something to scare away the birds as they were pooping all over my deck.
Bought a stationary hawk statue which helped but still some stragglers would still do their deed.
Came upon this owl that moves its head around in the sun ever 2 minutes and seems to have scared away the rest of the birds. Even surprises visitors who aren't prepared to have the head moving around.
Had problem with inital delivery but once spoke with company they sent out another one right away.
Seems to do what I hoped it would.

What a great product this solar powered owl is.
The squirrels and blue jays are no longer bothering my plants out on my deck.
The eyes are very scary!
The head swivels by way of the solar panel on the back of the head.
Highly recommended!

Fun but ineffective
It looks real enough. It is fun to see the head spin around like it is possessed. The birds don't care about it at all. Read more

Awesome Eyes
The owl has Awesome Eyes. The birds must think so too as they look at it and crap all over my new truck.

Worked..Until the Birds Got Organized and Revolted
I thought the head would be tight against the body and just move from side to side every few minutes. That's not the case. Read more

This owl cured my pigeon problem around the swimming pool. No birds messing up my pool deck. Planes don't even fly over my house any more.
