Customer feedback:
"The crow decoys arrived and I immediately put them into use: one was placed under our bird feeding station, and the other was hung in the apple tree beside it.
By the next morning, the crows no longer approached the feeding station. Instead, they circled in the sky, cawing indignantly, and then left.
They have not returned since.
I must honestly say I did not expect such success and would like to thank you for this excellent product. At times, up to thirty crows were sitting at the feeding station, plundering the food and even attacking sparrows.
Now, alongside sparrows and tits, woodpeckers, jays, and starlings are enjoying the station, and my food consumption has dropped by more than half."

The feathered crow decoy is used for visual bird deterrence on small areas. Dead birds trigger a flight instinct in their conspecifics. The more dead specimens the birds see lying or hanging, the greater the effect. It is particularly effective to hang the decoy on a string. This shows the crows that death was caused by one of their enemies – humans. The crow decoy is made of plastic with real feathers. Operating Principle The crow decoy is placed or hung on the desired area. When setting it up, a position should always be chosen from which the decoy is clearly visible to the birds. To achieve optimal protection, several decoys should be hung up and, if necessary, combined with additional bird deterrent devices. After all crows have been driven away, the decoy should be removed again to avoid habituation. If the crows return, simply hang the decoy up again.Advantages very simple and quick placementenvironmentally friendlyeffective visual, noiseless stimulussuitable for use in close proximity to residential areas
