How does the molded Great Horned Owl scare birds? Does it work on other animals?
The owl is a feared predator and the lifelike owl with the very realistic eyes is effective in frightening birds. This product will also be effective against small rodents that are also preyed upon by the Great Horned Owl. The key to continuing effectiveness is to keep moving the owl around the yard or garden so birds don’t get used to it (they will become unafraid if they notice that it never moves). Dalen also sells a Rotating-Head Owl with even greater effectiveness in scaring birds. The moving head provides maximum realism and startles birds. However, it still needs to be moved around for continued effectiveness, but not as often.
