Swoop Flying Falcon

Our gardener had just finished over seeding the lawn, by the time he closed the patio door I counted 18 pigeons feeding on the newly sown seeds. Horrified at the prospect of wasted time and seed I immediately checked out potential deterrents available on Amazon. The “ Big Cheese-Swoop flying falcon” looked like a probable solution and by the following day, It was protecting what remained of the seed plus the necessary replenishment. To mount the falcon; a 3m length of 15mm copper pipe with a 15mm 90 degree bend on the top of the 3m pipe. Now attach 50cm of 15mm copper - inserted into the 15mm 90 degree bend, thus forming the horizontal. Next, the wire that comes with the falcon is inserted into the open end of the 50cm horizontal 15mm pipe which is then crimped using pump pliers. Finally, the assembled falcon is attached to the hook at the end of wire supplied with the falcon. The bottom of the 3m copper pipe is then firmly inserted into the lawn. “Success”, the grass seed has now germinated and the lawn is looking good. From the moment that the falcon was set to task in the garden - not one pigeon, crow or magpie trespassed into our garden, One tip - the string supplied with the falcon is so thin that it snaps as soon as the wind starts to blow so apply some heavier duty string prior to erecting thqe pipe and falcon. Now that my lawn is green and all of the seed has germinated the falcon has come down. Within several minutes of taking the falcon down there were 3 - 4 pigeons wadding around in the garden. I was sceptical at first when putting my trust into the wings of the “Big Cheese Swoop Flying Falcon”. I wish everything was so simple- 100% successful. The falcon is now tucked away in his box until the next time he is needed.. If aayou are having problems with any of the aforementioned birds then I would certainly recommend that you give this product a go.

Rubbish

Worked brilliantly for a week then the pigeons came back. Moved it to a different location and for a couple of days it was fine, again they came back. After 3 weeks the pigeons didn’t bat an eyelid. Short term works well, long term not so good.

I bought this product and I am amazed by it this has completely stoped the birds from hanging out in my garden making my dogs bark like crazy

what a piece of nonsense he sits at the end of my garden and bounces. if there's a very strong wind, he looks the parts but doesn't do anything. doesn't bounce around and scare anything away. why do the big cheese charge so much for products which lack quality? unless of course you want to play with a little bird

ITS BRILLIANT received this item this morning, have it in the garden already. So easy to put up.

Works well no more bird poo

With this bracket, it is an utter waste of money. I hung mine a week ago and it came down (neighbours garden) last night - winds 15-20Mph. The bracket snapped as expected with a piece still screwed to the wall. There is NOT A SINGLE CHANCE that this can survive in any type of wind. Mine was situated on a wall surrounded by walls left and right and therefore was only exposed to the wind in one direction. Whilst up, it was effective at deterring pigeons. As such, I have repurchased the item (from a cheaper seller) and a separate bracket (think hanging wall bracket type) as the idea works. Please change your bracket - it is not fit for purpose. Customers - do not hang with this bracket. The birds wing snapped - possibly from hitting the ground when it snapped away from the bracket, so you will be wasting money using this bracket.

Totalement inefficaces.

Keeps sparrows off my seedlings. Have made it more realistic in movement with a fishing tackle line and spinner

ワシとは思えない、妻や友人は鳩かと言ってます。 飛ぶ姿気に入ってます。

piccioni scomparsi!

J'avais commandé ce faucon pour effaroucher les perruches qui envahissent mon jardin . le colis est arrivé à temps . Assez facile à monter (on le fixe à l'extremité d'une perche souple genre canne à pêche sur une branche assez haute de l'arbre (ici c'était un cerisier ), et le faucon n'a plus qu'à "planer" au gré du vent :cela a été assez efficace au début , mais les perruches ont par la suite été remplacées par des sansonnets qui sont plus hardis ou qui avaient peut être déjà repéré au bout de 15 jours que ce faucon n'était pas si dangereux ...Pour l'instant le faucon a été déplacé sur l'autre cerisier et il fait encore un peu d'effet Une amelioration pourrait être apportée en ajoutant une petite pile dans l'animal imitant le bruit des faucon ...
