Fake owl decoys for scaring pigeons and other birds away from your garden or property. Replica plastic owls and fake owl decoys are one of the most commonly used bird scaring devices to scare pigeons and other pest species of birds from their perching and roosting sites, predominantly on buildings in town and city centre environments. Fake owl decoys are normally mounted on roof areas where the product can be clearly seen by problem birds as they approach their roosting or perching areas.

Replica plastic owls are also often sited in key and sensitive areas on buildings where pigeons are causing specific problems. These areas could be canopies in front of shops or railway stations, or possibly architectural features on period properties where pigeons are causing extreme problems as a result of soiling. Bird scarer devices and replica plastic owls, are normally life size models of real owls and stand approximately 12"" high depending on which product is chosen and which species of owl is being replicated.

The quality of the reproduction varies considerably with some models looking quite life-like and others looking little or nothing like a real owl. A majority of fake plastic owl decoys have no moving parts, although there are now some models on the market like the Rotating Head Owl that move with air currents. Some of the more advanced owl scarers actually move on a rail whilst flapping their wings and making a hooting sound. The product is completely humane which will have great appeal for those requiring a non-lethal or non-violent product and the fake plastic owl decoy is also relatively inexpensive to buy.

Most potential prey species react to predator models; the strength of the response, however, varies between species Conover and in some cases raptor models can attract rather than repel birds as species like blackbirds and crows often mob owls and owl models Conover cited in Harris and Davis Although it is hard for human observers to differentiate between a falcon when it is sharp set and conversely well fed, birds will mob a hawk more frequently when sharp set than when well fed.

Thus, model raptors will be inherently less threatening and subsequently less effective than live raptors Inglis
