Would this work to scare away large blackbirds in the backyard who keep getting into the feeders?

Birds are very fragile and have hollow bones (it makes them lighter so they can fly). Shooting them with this gun is likely to fatally injure them--they will probably fly off somewhere and die a few days layer with a shattered rib cage. Seriously, don't do it. It's cruel and inhumane. Even if you try to miss, the ricochet could still have enough velocity to break their bones.

Yes it would work great, I would miss on purpose though, it could injure them badly then you have to deal with that!

Definitely. I use mine to keep birds away from my patio. A friend thought it was real from a distance. It's been out all winter long and still looks brand new.

Yes, it will it has taken out several squirrels as well as other pesky animals from 30 feet. no good for long distances but within 35 to 50 feet you should be fine.

We used netting to keep large prey birds off our laying hens but small birds have no problem getting through to get at the chicken feed.It sounds like you need a smaller mesh.

Not sure about that, but why wouldn't it? It seems to scare any birds that would otherwise come on to the porch.

I wouldn't recommend it. The tail end of the net is very narrow which could make it difficult to safely remove the bird.

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

Hi Robert, I am not quite sure because since then I have put up a sonar bird scarer which has worked for the seagulls I am delighted to say. Sadly all my lovely songbirds are gone as well, even Cheeky the blackbird who has been coming into my kitchen for several years! For those interested the sonar device is: Proctor Pest-Stop Solar Bird Repeller. At least now my cats are safe from the daily attacks from seagulls thanks to this!

I purchased the hawk to keep birds out of our garden. It worked well.I am hoping over the winter that it will keep the crows/birds off of our winter pool cover.

It will work, birds will be scared away from the sound and light coming from the box. You need to leave it on the sound mode and in the area that has the most bird problem.

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own petsThis works greatCrank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

Yes, I think it probably would. But I agree with dityboycom, if it is indoors, don't have it on when you are there to shoo the cat off the counter. Turn it on when you'll be away, see if it will train the cat over time. We use ours outdoors on the porch, directed toward the patio under our bird feeder. It has successfully kept away a neighbor's cat that was coming to kill birds at the feeder. The range seems to be about 10 feet, maybe a bit more. We do not turn it off unless we are spending time on the patio, walking around in front of it. It has lasted 8 months.

I'm not sure, it does not work for raccoons or possum's, but before I put them up I did have Owls, but they never bothered my chickens or ducks, I have not heard them at night either, so it may work to scare them away. all I can say is buy one and try it. Anything is better than not trying.

I use the bird-x tape to keep pigeons away. It works to keep pigeons away, but i don't know if it works to keep hawks away.

I doubt the birds will attack themselves on your screened windows. The decals did not deter the birds on my uncovered windows though at all. I did not find the product effective at all.

Yes, they work very well to keep doves away. I was sitting on my covered porch and saw a dove fly in and it was looking for a place to land but couldn't because of the bird spikes. It just hovered around a few seconds and then flew off. :)
