Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Life-like, hand painted owl repels pesky birds and varmints while adding charm to any garden. The Great Horned Owl is one of Dalen's all-time best sellers and features a head that can be turned from side to side like a real owl. Changing head position every few days increases effectiveness. For gardens, berry bushes, and grapevines: mount Owl on top of a tall pole and drive pole firmly into the ground (Owl must be positioned vertically for head to move properly). Move Owl every few days. For rooftops and ledges: secure Owl by tying in place or weight heavily. Owl can be filled with sand or gravel for more stability (use enclosed stopper). It is important to move the Owl every few days and to place it in a prominent spot to be most effective. For best results: Owl must be positioned vertically for head to move properly. Place Owl before fruit ripens and feeding habits develop. Place Owl in a prominent place so birds can see it. For added effectiveness, move Owl around garden every few days. Use ONLY when pests are being destructive, remove at other times. Store indoors when season is over to prevent pests from getting used to it.

Keeps them owl away!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dalen RH-04 Rotating Head Great Horned Owl (Lawn & Patio)
My experience with this bobble head owl has been so positive, that I am ordering two more today. The trick with these owls is that you HAVE TO PUT THEM AT EACH TREE! You can't just buy one and expect to keep the birds away from the entire orchard. The birds will watch the owl and when their desire for fruit is greater than their fear of the owl, that's when things go awry. Place an owl ON each tree or between two trees that are within a few feet of each other. Move the owls around the orchard from day to day as well. The owl saved my figs last year. This year I am ordering more to save my peaches and apples. They DO work...you just have to be smarter than the birds.

Poop on You!,
This review is from: Dalen RH-04 Rotating Head Great Horned Owl (Lawn & Patio)
Obviously, this did not work after three weeks and I found pigeon poop upon the head and wings of the plastic, indicating that the pigeons returned. Most birds at first glance are frightened by it but after a few days, they instinctively know that it isnt really alive, even the moving head, which is operated by a spring, doesn't mimic actual live owl's heads, since most owls don't even have a neck bone structure. After a few more months, even the head fell off and there was a woodpecker nest inside the hole. After a few years, the whole thing just fell to pieces.

OK piece, SLOW shipping,
By
This review is from: Dalen RH-04 Rotating Head Great Horned Owl (Lawn & Patio)
The owl itself is nicely made with the exception that the head is not as freely moveable as I would expect, seems that it locks up at points.
Shipping tooks several weeks.
