- The Hawk Bird Scarer is a full size replica hawk moulded from tough weather-proof plastic with imitation wing tips that flap when the bird is suspended.
- Originally invented to scare seagulls and shags off boats, yachts and wharves.
- Protect your crops such as stone, pome fruits, nuts, berry or broad-acre crops on calm or windy days as you suspend your hawk over or near your crop.
- No power, wind or poison needed – environmentally friendly.
- One Hawk Bird Scarer would be suitable for the domestic back garden or pleasure craft, more would be needed for a large commercial crop.
- Ideally, when suspended freely from high trees, two Bird Scarers will effectively keep 2ha free of any major bird damage, more may be needed depending on each situation/circumstance. On a pole or guide-wire between 2 trees have the best effect.
- Effective against most birds such as starlings, mynahs, pigeons, swallows, seagulls, ducks but does not give 100% results for sparrows.
- If the problem birds are already nesting then it is too late to use this device to stop them nesting – But the Hawk will stop them from nesting next season if the Hawk is installed before the nesting process starts.
