Bird Scare Flying Kite with 4m Pole Has The Effect of Scaring Birds-Type A | Ideal for gardens farms and docks | Keeps birds geese and seagulls away |A kind of hawk deterrent

I am very impressed with this bird scarer. I have hawks in my area frequently, but since installing this kite, they haven't come anywhere near my coop. The movement is incredibly realistic; the way it catches the wind and vibrates really seems to mimic a real predator, which keeps the hens safe without causing any harm to the local wildlife.Assembly was straightforward and the craftsmanship is excellent. The 4-meter telescopic pole is sturdy, and even in light winds, the kite maintains great balance and stability. It covers a wide area of my property, and the laser-cut materials feel durable enough to last. It is a simple, effective solution for anyone looking to protect their garden or livestock.

Exactly what we hoped for. We saw these at a nearby coastal town to deter birds and wanted to try at our camp. Ducks and geese can be a real nuisance. We had to experiment to get the best experience. Keeping the pole at an angle (as recommended) keeps the string from twisting around the pole. Make sure to extend the pole pieces all the way, including the end piece, for best flexibility. We installed this on our deck panel, and we tweaked a flag pole holder to get the angle needed. Our pond gets high winds so fingers crossed. I like that you can just buy a replacement kite vs the whole kit. We also have used bird scare tape, which has also been a great deterrent.

Don’t bother. The hawk snapped off the first day and blew away. The irony is that the hawk needs wind to fly but if the wind is a bit too much, like 15 mph, it gets ripped off. Find something better to keep away the birds.

I purchased this to put in my garden area to keep the deer out of it. So far it seems to be working very well

I added a brief video showing my simple placement and set-up of the rod and kite length which is important depending on where you put this in your yard or property.I want to scare birds away from our deck to stop them from pooping all over and this should help especially with the flapping kite if you can hear it in the wind. We get a lot of gusty days but I think even slightly moving will scare them. I might have to move it around periodically so they don't get used to it but it's the first time using one of these so we'll see.If notice the part in the ground the white pole needs to be hammered in about 1.5 ft then you can put the black pole over it and secure with the included screw and wing nut. The pole itself is basically like a fishing pole to be honest. It expands in sections and you can twist it a little to tighten the sections.Putting the kite together takes a minute literally. The key is tying the string a good length to not tangle. If you notice my string isn't that long and it keeps the kite string from wrapping around the pole end so might take a little trial and error. Same for the pole position and angle. I wanted mine angled out enough to not hit the deck railing or the corner of my house but close enough so birds would be wary of flying closer to the deck.Hope this helps. If you have wide open space then positioning it won't really be an issue but you'll still need to adjust the string to avoid tangling and the kite wrapping around the pole end. Otherwise.... it's the most kite flying I've done in years successfully lolEnjoy***UPDATE I've been using this now since purchasing and it has seemed to scare away birds or at least kept them off our deck along with their crap. That said, we've had an unusual amount of wind the past few months and while great for the kite flying it's getting tangled more and more for some reason and I believe it is the strength and amount of winds that we get unfortunately. In normal windy conditions it does ok but we get some that literally push this kite around in all directions including around the pole. I've tried repositioning it and changing the swivel position but nothing works. I don't think it's the kite but if you get high winds or lots of gusts it seems to tangle quite often. I'm not dropping the rating but just wanted to mention the wind issues just so no one thinks the kite is defective. It does what it's supposed to do...fly in the wind ;-)

I have a dock where the birds sit on the edge of the roof and make a real mess. The product did its job keeping the birds away. It was pretty easy to install too. The only problem is I live in an area where it can get pretty windy. It took less than a month for the kite to tear up. I didn’t see a place to contact the seller, only a place to leave the seller a review. I put what had happened and didn’t hear anything back from them. I will try to buy just the kite as it is not that much and reinforce it some to see if it holds together better.

I bought this kite to help deter turkey buzzards. I live in the country. About 1/4 mile behind my property are power line towers where the buzzards roost. I put new roofs on my home, garage and shop last year and something about the new roofs attracted the buzzards. I was horrified one day when I heard something walking on my roof. I went outside to find around 50+ buzzards on my new roofs. If you don't know, buzzards will degrade a roof quickly with their talons and feces and once they start roosting somewhere, it is difficult to get rid of them. I put this kite up in my yard and the buzzards have left my property for the most part. I also have a pond which is another attraction. There were multiple days that I came home from work and found 50+ buzzards on my new roofs. I would clap, scream and they wouldn't budge. In the last year, the buzzards and only a few at that, less than 10 have been back. When I notice they are venturing back on my property, I will move the kite to a different location. I have ordered two of these because the string that comes with the kite is not that durable. The kite itself is made well. It has withstood the elements, sun, rain, snow, ice, heat and cold. It gets lots of wind and is up and down a lot and the kite is holding up great. One order did not have any string/twine at all in the box. The first one, the string wore thin from the constant movement and in a high wind storm that came up, the string broke and I never could find where the kite flew off to. The size is great. The pole that comes with it is very sturdy and has withstood the elements.I do have to go out there occasionally and unwind the twine from around the pole. If you are having problems with buzzards, this is a great value for the money to attempt to get rid of the buzzards. It has given me piece of mind to not come home and find buzzards on my new roofs!

We have had a swim raft for five summers, and every single summer, seagulls took it over completely. The raft is the centerpiece of our swim area, and our kids use it daily, but once the seagulls moved in, it was basically done for the season. The smell alone made it unusable.We tried everything: sparkly lines, streamers, a fake owl, even playing owl noises through a speaker. Nothing worked.This hawk was our last-ditch effort, and I cannot recommend it enough. We attached the pole to the ladder on the raft, the hawk flies above the top, and it does not impede swimming from the raft at all. I have not seen a single seagull since. This is our second summer using it, and the raft is completely ours again.If you are at your wit's end with birds taking over your dock or raft, just buy this. We wish we had found it years ago.

my buddy buying one to

À besoin de peu de vent pour prendre son envol.Seul point négatif c’est que la corde s’enroule autour de la perche.

The kite was easy to assemble. The pole however didn’t extend as per the instruction video. I spent the extra money for the pole only to discover it is in pieces and will not attach end to end or telescope as per the video. We had to tape the ends together, not sure how long the tape will hold. Not happy with the pole
