Will this deter the local pidgeons, finches, diaries, doves, mockingbirds, and grackels for ac week or two while we harvest our grapes?

I just put these (mine are owls) up and so far they haven't worked keeping the blackbirds out of my trees. don't phase them a bit. I know I got them up late so will try again next year.

It will work maximum for about 2x weeks before the birds realise it is a dummy. It could be shorter - be sure to change its position daily

I tried them on my houseboat and they do not work to keep any birds off the boat. I had all kind of bird droppings and what was left of partially eaten fish on the deck of the boat in the area where I has these hanging. The birds we have are cranes so I can't say anything about herons, but they didn't work on cranes.

Yes. I got this to prevent birds and squirrels from eating my buds. It works.

Yes, if your trees are small enough to be completely enclosed by net. Close all openings securely. One year, five tanagers found small gaps in my netting seam and enjoyed fine pie cherry dining until I rescued them--and fruit crop.

Mine is right outside my TV room at about eye level - maybe a little higher. If they detect movement within a few feet of the birdfeeder, even when I'm in the house, they fly off. I'm quite sure it would scare the birds if the cats are right there. They're pretty smart, and cats are their predators. If I were them, I certainly wouldn't hang around if cats were nearby.

YES, it won't kill them fast, but in a week or two, all of them will be dead throughout the nests as thy spread it to one another.

If you put them close enough togethor so the doves can not land or nest. These are a deterent to keep them from landing.

I think it could have the capacity to scare off any bird, for a short period of time. Once they get used to it, it's a bit less effective.

I doubt it. Raccoons are a unique problem in that they seem to be very smart. I was not able to keep them out of my orchard of apple trees even though I had multiple strands of electric fence wire starting just above the ground and going up to a couple of feet above the ground. I have no idea how they managed to keep getting in but they did and got or ruined about 50% of my apple crop.

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.

Yes it would, but save yourself some money and buy a bulk roll of inexpensive, lower grade (like Grade 10) cheesecloth. It will still let your lawn breathe, let the sun in, and keep the birds away, but at a substantially lower price. Dale - Brighenti Culinary support

Yes, attracts blue jays, woodpeckers, titmouse, and blackbirds among others. Squirrels try:) and scout any shells that are dropped along with the crows. Sometimes they only eat half the peanut and come back for it later. It is easy to fill and clean out. And the empy shells I spread out to mow over or compost.

If the birds get near the ground, it may scare them away. Any type of motion near the ground will set it off. If the bird feeder is way up high, then i wouldnt worry about it.

No, but in the summer I'd have problems with bears so can't have birdseed out during the summer months.

I only have cardinals, bluejays, nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers, indigo buntings, rose breasted grosbeaks, red and yellow finches, mourning doves, bluebirds, and hummingbirds coming here in Western PA. I use mixed, shelled cardinal food from the hardware store and they all love it. I also feed thistle and a seed that looks a lot like trail mix in my other feeders. We also have owls, whippoorwill, hawks, etc. We live in the PA WILDS region of the state.Penn State has a blackbird problem and they use what sounds like percussion bombs to scare them off. Good Luck.

Dear Mr. Sullivan,No, they will not. In fact, they will help to keep the tank free of tiny bits of food th livebearers may have missed.

No it will not affect birds , the sound emitted targets only squirrels , rodent , ect.
