Natural, life-like colouring with wide, bright predatory eyes.
Product Highlights
Siting
Site in areas where birds are a problem such as newly seeded lawns or vegetable areas. For best results install the Wind-Action Owl before seeding or fruit ripening to prevent bird feeding habits developing.
Move the Wind-Action Owl from time to time to prevent pests from becoming used to them and remove them altogether when not in use.
Where possible mount the decoy above the area you want to protect; birds will naturally refrain from flying under the predator decoy.
Natural colouring
Wind-Action Owl has been hand finished to give a realistic natural colouring deterring birds naturally and without doing harm.
For free-standing use, fill the base with stones as an anchor or mount on a garden cane.
360 degree rotating head
Wind-Action Owl is made from a durable plastic that can be used all season long.
Designed with a 360 degree rotating head and reflective eyes that moves in the slightest breeze to humanely deter bird pests.
In high winds or extreme sub-zero temperatures, it's recommended that the product is taken down and stored temporarily.
Decoy range
Part of the Defenders decoy range offering both larger-than-life and visual deterrents to protect vulnerable garden areas from garden pests such as pigeons, crows and seagulls.
Bird Problems
Birds are an important and natural part of our habitat, unfortunately their natural instinct to search for food and bird fouling ingress can become a problem around our homes.
Birds can often be found pecking away at seedlings, plants and vegetables jeopardising the flora in our beloved gardens.
Birds can cause expensive damage to vehicles; bird droppings are high in acidity and can quickly eat away at wax coatings on paintwork.
The range of Defenders pest control products will help you protect and prevent damaged caused by birds.
Pest Control
The best defence against bird problems is to target their senses; visual and audible deterrents have long been effective for many years.
Birds fear their natural predators. Plastic life-like decoys that visually mimic the natural appearance and movement are most effective.
Sudden movement will scare a bird into flight so suspended items caught in a breeze will achieve the sudden movement. Increase the deterrent effect by adding flashing light reflections from high shine materials and even noise from chimes, spinners and flickering tapes.
To help achieve the maximum effect, reposition regularly, at least every 2-3 days.
Decoy Tips
Birds can quickly get used to decoy deterrents so follow these tips to ensure that they remain effective.
Move decoys at least every 2-3 days to different garden areas.
Use at least 2 decoy deterrents to protect affected area.
Deterrents which mimic the natural movement of predators such as the Defenders Wind Action Owl and Hawk Kite will be most effective at scaring birds.
Wherever possible, position birds of prey decoys above target pest birds for maximum effect.
