Bird Hawk Flying Kite with Pole Crop Protector Bird Scare Flying Kite with 4m Pole Has The Effect of Scaring Birds

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.

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!

Bought two kites, in less than a week both kites lost the plastic poles that keep their structures. One kite tore completely where the plastic pole enters. They work great until they don't work at all lol… the poles coming out can be fixed by adding super glue to the ends of the plastic poles before entering them into the kite, however the tearing is not fixable. Considering they are meant to be in the wind they should probably be able to withstand the wind.

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 lol Enjoy

This kite is a great deterrent to hawks. No hawks or big birds come by to kill my chickens. Is very resilient and with stands high winds. Very easy to assemble and take the kite off the string during really inclement weather

We have lots of geese behind the house because we have a river they like to land in. This kite is highly effective for keeping them off the yard. It really looks like a hawk hovering. Highly recommended !!

I’m giving it 2 stars because it worked great for the first few days and kept the birds away, however it kept getting tangled around the pole and then the poles poked through the kite portion and now looks dead and awful.

The pole is not sturdy enough to hold up to winds. Winds are necessary for kite to fly and to be effective at deterring pest birds. Kite is very effective in winds and wings flutter nicely. In order to use, however, the pole broke completely. Trying another one, but my hopes are not high. Perhaps fans will be required when winds are not present. Will probably return for refund.

my buddy buying one to

works for geese

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

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