Ah yes… the classic Great Horned Owl tum-tum feather patterns of a base of pale yellow with stripes and spots of carrot-orange.
Is the owl eating a slice of pizza?
I actually bought 1 of these…using n veggie gardens and they r working at keeping some critters and birds away!
Oh yeah I had no idea owls did this ! Got me one!
Hope it doesn’t scare away my Robin & her babies that are with me from sunrise to sunset
I bought a similar one a few months into the pandemic, when I was WFH and had 2 separate incidents of birds crashing into my living room windows. I have windows the length of the living room and with the blinds open, I can see how birds would see the reflections of trees and the sky and fly into them. Poor little guys would lie there, stunned, and eventually fly off.
I still WFH and there haven’t been any more incidents, but I don’t know if it’s because of the owl or because I keep the blinds slanted.
I try to remember to reposition the owl, in case any really smart birds are suspicious lol.
I just bought this. Why not.
Let’s see if it further deters the squirrels from trying to mess with my apple tree.
Also stop capitalizing apple, damn phone.
It works on cats. Scooter made me put it outside. I think it’s the only thing under my carport not covered in bird crap.
Good to know! Price is right! I bought a solar one this year that rotates the head every once in a while and it’s good sized. Because there is a crow lady that has taken it upon herself to make the crows welcome in our neighborhood. Goes on walks and tosses raw peanuts for them, why I don’t know but I’ve read some people think it’s a spiritual thing brings luck blaw blaw blaw. They are a nuisance nothing more nothing less. (crow lady and the like included)
Squirrels are pretty smart they will test it and determine it fake/dumb and go about their business. Moving it frequently helps deter that broadly.
Do not underestimate my hatred of the squirrels. I will add motion and motion sensing response to it. I’ll add laser eyes and a fire breathing beak upon identification of a squirrel: I’ll add twin howitzer cannons to each of its wings to target and annihilate the squirrels. My apple tree WILL be protected at all costs!
Scooter , I believe in you!
You can take the pizza owl!
Thanks therealjrn, That was awesome!
OMG. I’ve just watched this whole thing, and now I have to go find this dude’s YouTube…great post!!!
I kind of want the pizza owl been looking at it for 2 sales now kind of hoping to will be a dollar deal by @davejlives over on TTHH or maybe it could just be a FL dollar deal if it was just a couple of dollars less I could talk my sis into buying it for me. She has the prime account so no shipping but as it stands right now I can’t pay $15.99 for something that is not useful. I can waste as much money I want but right now what comes out of the household budget literally comes out our mouths so no cute pizza owl for me
Oooo, good idea for my pear tree!! Pears never survive long enough to get harvested…
