## Description

Great prices on your favourite Gardening brands, and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Smart product - Looks good, scares away birds, but the birds came back after a few days, they are smarter than they look. Even with the owls head moving. Good product though, as there are less birds in the garden now, we need to move the location of the owl every few days to keep the birds away.
Review: Really Doesn't work. - Absolutely useless pigeon deterrent. Tried it in different positions, even to within a foot of where they were nesting and they were back within an hour. I have now tried everything mentioned online - silvery moving things, white flapping plastic bags... only thing that works is me going up to them and shouting. Eventually I took the ladders out of the passage and stood them up. Have cleared enough twigs to build a bonfire and two smashed eggs - I canot understand how something so stupid manages to breed and spread.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it scare blackbirds?**
A: Hi, in our tests it has kept away blackbirds, crows & jays. Regards, Dog Goodies

**Q: Does it deter wood pigeons?**
A: The wood pigeons in my garden became best friends with the owl I purchased.  Apart from it being ornamental this purchase was a total waste of money.

**Q: Does this deter squirrels? They are eating all the new plants and digging up seedlings**
A: I don’t think it does really. It hasn’t put the ones we get off anyway. It might, if you were prepared to keep moving it around a bit more than we do.

**Q: will it deter squirrels**
A: We have one set about 4 ft. off the ground and the squirrel seems to ignore it as do the sea gulls. looks nice !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Effective Owl Decoy — Seagulls Beware!
*by J***S on 10 October 2025*

I bought this owl decoy out of sheer frustration with a neighbour who insists on feeding seagulls daily. I was sceptical at first, but decided to give it a go and I’m glad I did. The gulls were not happy. Within a day, they stopped landing anywhere near the neighbour’s front lawn. It’s been oddly satisfying watching them circle and then retreat, clearly spooked by the owl’s presence. The decoy itself is a decent size for the price and impressively lifelike even from a distance, it looks convincing enough to unsettle the gulls. The head movement is wind-dependent, so it doesn’t rotate often unless there’s a decent breeze, but that hasn’t stopped it from doing the job. In fact, it’s been so effective that the gulls now seem reluctant to perch on any of the nearby houses. Pigeons, on the other hand, are less impressed they occasionally perch next to it like it’s a mate. But pigeons are seasoned veterans when it comes to ignoring decoys. Overall, well worth the purchase. Bonus points for the quiet joy of knowing my neighbour is probably wondering where all his feathered friends have gone. Highly recommend if you’re dealing with persistent gulls!
