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 However, birds quickly learn that the model poses no threat and rapidly habituate to it. Some of the more advanced robotic owls cost several hundred pounds and this does not include the cost of installation. The following quotes from those involved with the bird control industry in the USA appear to sum up the general consensus on this product:.
Caldwell goes on to say:. Fake owl decoys have received a considerable amount of negative publicity in relation to their effectiveness as a bird deterrent and bird scarer, but sales of the product appear to be consistently high. This may be as a result of the fact that the product is extremely inexpensive to buy and if, once installed, it proves to be ineffective the purchaser may feel that complaining to the retailer is a wasted effort. This may be as a result of the fact that a majority of fake plastic owls are static deterrents with no moving parts and therefore birds will become habituated to them extremely quickly.
Broadly speaking, any deterrent that does not move or emit any type of sound or noise is likely to be ignored by many of the most common pest species of birds. There are bird scarer devices available that have moving parts such as moving eyes, head and wings , and some that even make a screeching sound as well, but although these products may have some limited success with timid garden birds such as blackbirds, they are unlikely to play any useful part in a control system designed to resolve an entrenched bird-related problem.
It is also clear that although claims are made by both distributor and manufacturer alike that replica plastic owls will be effective in deterring a wide variety of pest species of birds, the reality is that the most common pest species gulls and pigeons will remain undeterred by this product.
