About this product
A decoy, with the caveat decoys deserve.
Spring loaded head that turns in the wind, reflective eyes, weather resistant paint. It works best when you move it, and we would rather say so.
A plastic owl decoy with a spring loaded head that rotates in the wind, reflective eyes and a detailed body.
The paint is fade and water resistant, so it holds up outdoors as well as in a barn or a warehouse.
It suits gardens, orchards, front lawns, barns, fields and crop areas, and it needs no power, no fixing and no maintenance.
It works on the appearance of a predator, so it works best when it appears to be alive. Move it every week or two.
It is a supporting deterrent rather than a solution on its own, and this page treats it as one.
Decoys have a reputation problem, and it is deserved when they are used badly. A plastic owl bolted to the same fence post for a year is furniture, and every bird within a hundred metres knows it.
The rotating head is what makes this version better than a static one, because a shape that moves reads as alive for longer. It is still not a substitute for movement you provide by relocating it.
So the honest instruction is a schedule. Move it every one to two weeks, change its height as well as its position, and take it away entirely for a fortnight now and then. Birds notice absence and re-notice arrival.
It performs best as part of a set. An owl in the open plus reflective tape on the lines plus netting over the fruit is a layered approach and each element covers the others' weaknesses.
Where it does not belong is a hard bird problem on a building. A pigeon flock roosting on a ledge will ignore it inside a week. Spikes are the answer for that, and they cost less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a fake owl actually work?
As part of a layered approach and if you move it, yes. Left in one place for months, no, and we would rather tell you that up front.
How often should I move it?
Every one to two weeks. Change the height as well as the position.
Why does the head rotate?
It is spring loaded so the wind turns it. A shape that moves reads as alive for longer than one that does not.
Where should I put it?
Somewhere exposed and visible, at or above the height the birds are flying, not tucked under a tree.
Will it work on pigeons on a ledge?
Not for long. A roosting flock on a building is a spikes job.
Will it work in an orchard?
As a supporting deterrent alongside tape or netting. On its own it will not protect a crop you cannot afford to lose.
Is it weatherproof?
The paint is fade and water resistant and it is intended for outdoor use.
Will it blow over?
In a strong wind it can. Weight the base with sand or a stone.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes, in barns, warehouses and covered areas, though there is no wind indoors to turn the head.
Does it need batteries?
No. Nothing about it is powered.
Will it scare the birds I want to keep?
It does not distinguish between species. If you have a bird feeder, the owl affects that too.
How many do I need?
One per open area. Two moved between four positions works better than four left standing.
Will it deter rodents?
Some, initially. Rodents habituate quickly and it is not sold for that.
Is it life size?
It is a full sized decoy owl. Exact dimensions are not published for this line.
Does it make a noise?
No, it is silent.
Will the colour fade?
Slowly, in full sun. The paint is fade resistant rather than fade proof.
Can I mount it on a post?
Yes, and a post gets it up to a useful height. Make sure it can still turn.
Do the eyes light up?
No. They are reflective, so they catch available light rather than producing it.
Is it safe around children and pets?
It is a moulded plastic ornament with no moving hazard beyond the turning head.
What if it stops working after a month?
That is habituation and it is expected. Move it, or take it away for two weeks and put it back.
Can I combine it with the discs?
Yes, and that is a good pairing: the discs supply constant movement and the owl supplies the shape.
Will it work on mynas?
Briefly. Mynas are bold and social and they test things quickly. Combine it with netting or spikes.
Is it a dropship item?
It is fulfilled separately from our warehouse stock, at the same delivery times as everything else.
Would spikes be better value?
On a building, always. The owl is for open ground where there is nothing to fit a strip to.
Do I need more than one for a big garden?
Two moved around four positions beats four left standing. The variable that matters is movement, not quantity.
Will it work in a warehouse?
It can, on a beam where birds are perching, but with no wind the head does not turn and you are relying on the shape alone.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is Philippines wide. It is free on orders over ₱1,900 and ₱650 below that, and orders leave after a 24 to 48 hour handling time, arriving in about 5 to 7 days.
Can I return it if I ordered the wrong amount?
You have 15 days from delivery to send an unused item back in its original packaging for an exchange or a refund, and 30 days to tell us if something arrived faulty or was not what you ordered. Cancelling a paid order before it ships carries a 12.5 per cent processing fee. None of that affects your rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Do you deliver outside Metro Manila?
Yes. We deliver across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, and the free threshold and the flat rate are the same wherever you are.
Can I buy in bulk for a building or a site?
Yes. Ask for a quote on the wholesale page and tell us the total run in metres, the surface, and whether access needs scaffolding or a lift.
