Dalen RHO4 RH-04 Rotating Head Horned Owl, 18 In. H, Multi

Love this owl. He's cute and he keeps those fat Hawaiian doves out of my patio garden and off of my plants. I have 2- one on each outer corner of my patio. Well made- head spins around with the breeze... Fastened to fence with a zip tie. Recommend this product...

For the price, this is an excellent 'watch owl'. It is made of sturdy materials and the bottom plug pops out easily allowing the hollow inside to be filled with rocks or sand (I added about 2/4 lbs river rocks). This holds the owl in place during winds or inclement weather conditions. The paint and detail are really good. This is my second decoy owl (different brands) and I prefer this one from the more expensive version I purchased at a chain hardware and garden store. The head 'rotates', but not automatically. There are no gears or batteries or solar panels on this bird. His head 'snaps' onto a pivot bolt attached to the body. Kind of like a bobblehead, the head will move slightly up and down and turns 360 degrees as the breeze blows. The eyes are piercing and effective.While I love welcoming the great variety of birds that I come to my property, I purchased this due to an aggressive and territorial cardinal that would attack and poop on my car daily. I cover my mirrors every day so he started to attack his reflection in the windows. He's scratched my paint and windows, and I'd just had it with him. I tried other decoy methods found online (reflective mylar, scarecrow), nothing worked....until this item. He's been watching over for only a few days and already the cardinal has been absent since the moment "Owly" arrived. I move him every day to simulate a real owl, and so that the offensive bird doesn't get comfortable. I highly recommend this decoy, especially for the price.

I loved this pair of decoy owls. They look very realistic, and are very sturdy. I think the bobble head could use some subtle side fins to better pick up light breezes.

This owl was a disappointment. I put it out on my deck & not long after there was bird poop on my deck again! Birds were not deterred!

The first one came with the head off and head was separated in half. I thought this is how it shipped. You tube video showed how to snap head in place. I snapped everything together but the seam between front and back of head has a defective space.Only after I received the second one, which was delivered fully intact, did I realize the extent of the damage of the first one. It is sadly too late for an exchange.Filled it with a 10 pound bag of gravel to weigh it down. The second one works perfectly. So far keeping the birds away. First one, head is not balanced like the second one, does not move as much and tilts too forward.Not effective enough.

This owl worked great! I had a major bird problem in my yard due to the berry tree in my drive way, and let’s just say the mess they were making on a daily bases made it look like they had a personal vendetta against our cars. When I bought the owl I was hesitant based on the bad reviews I read but I pressed on and hoped that it would help deter at least some of the birds from my yard/driveway. Much to my surprise it worked almost instantly and better then expected, I have NO birds! Which means no berry mess or bird poop on my driveway or cars. I do suggest filling the owl with fish tank gravel or rocks because it is top heavy and will fall over. But when I filled it with left over fish tank gravel I had it did great, and it stayed upright through a pretty bad storm we had not to long ago. If your hesitant about this product don’t be it works. It’s a great none lethal alternative for a bird problem. One other tip I will give is that you should move the owl periodically to keep the other birds on their toes, lol. Because I did notice when I left it in one spot for too long I would see one or two brave birds try to reappear. But once I moved the bird to a new location they were gone.

The media could not be loaded. We had tried about 10 different owls when we lived on the farm in PA and this was perfect for keeping my chickens and ducks safe. They were my babies so protecting them was very important. Especially Sundance who had very bad arthritis in her leg and was very slow. We would watch the perguine falcons and the red tailed hawks just divert paths the moment they saw this guy. So moving to FL and watching the osprey and red tailed hawks eating my squirrels who come for a feed and the birds was just awful. So back to Amazon for another. Worked well again. Watching them coming this way but they keep their distance. They don't want a confrontation with a large full sized owl which this is. I see them way of in the distance but not one has come anywhere near for the 4 days I have had this guy out there. We have an osprey next on the next block so there is a family right here. I move him around and make sure I get a position in the open but where there is a breeze so the head moves. Without the head moving its no where near as good. I suggest you put him out and tap the head so he moves. Hopefully you will get some breeze. But once they spot him with his head moving is game over. I doubt they will come back. Just move him around. That's very important. Hope this helps you all.

This owl is crap. Shipped in a bag and the head was broken. Returned and got a refund so I appreciated that which is why I gave it 2 stars and not 1.
