We live in West Texas, and we have Grackles everywhere! Remember the old movie "The Birds"? That's what it's like in the evenings around here. You can't park anywhere without getting bird poop all over your vehicle. At dusk every evening, they fly overhead, and you don't want to be outside when they do, or you may get bombed. They love to eat my dog's food, and drink from the dog's waterbowl. We have chased them, shot at them, yelled at them, and nothing seems to bother them. We can't sit outside at our picnic table without scrubbing it first, because they will poop all over it.

I purchased the Hoont Owl Scarecrow to see if it would help the problem. It arrived very quickly after ordering. To operate, just install 2 rechargeable AA batteries, and then mount the Owl in the area that you want to scare the birds. It needs to be in an area that it will get about 8 hours of sunlight a day, so that the solar panels will charge.

The owl is motion-sensored. Whenever something gets within a couple of feet, the eyes start flashing, and the Owl hoots.  So far, it has my Chihuahuas scared. The birds have slowed down in the back yard, but are not completely gone. I guess that is better than what we have been dealing with. And an added plus, I haven't seen the neighbor's cat over pestering my dogs, so I guess he doesn't like the Owl either!

We used the Owl as part of our Halloween decorations, and the kids loved it!

All in all, I give the Hoont Owl a good 4 star rating.
