Blackbird Inflatable Scarecrow Blower, 1/2 HP

More and more pigeons were perching on the electric wires above my business, making a mess, especially with the AC. A year ago, I decided to do something about it. First I tried the baloons, howl and sonic deterrents: did not do much at all. When I added the Air Crow, it immediately worked: the pigeons moved 1/2 block away!. With the timer, it runs 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off from sunrise to sunset. It has been working continuously for 1 year. The snake seems to work better than the "little man". Don't forget to clean the exhaust filter regularly otherwise the flapping effect becomes sluggish (or remove the filter). If for any reason the Air Crow stops working (the timer broke down or the "snake" or "little man" finally tore off from overuse and UV exposure), the pigeons immediately started coming back. Turn it back on and the pigeons move away. Make sure you have a spare "Snake or Little Guy" ready (contact the manufacturer directly, they have been very helpful)

Works great so far (couple weeks)! I plan to add a timer that can cycle it on/off 20 times a day. Don't want the birds to get used to the sound all the time. Off at dark right now, don't see birds at night causing issues. Noise + action is great, sounds like a standard blower motor running, plus the hair on the scarecrow rattles nicely. Stray cats even moved away, they don't like the noise either. Not so bad neighbors are bothered either. I put it into a large pet carrier & used 4" pipe to extend up & away from it. I leaned stuff up against the pet carrier & made great shelter from the rain. Unless it's a huge storm, I let it run & haven't had issues since I protected it from the elements. Doesn't stay vertical as much when wet, but has more action so it is fine in light rains etc. Putting a radio out there next, confuse the birds even more.

In the last two years I lost 40% of my figs mostly to Stellar Jays, the bad boys of our neighborhood (we live in the country). I even stapled brown paper around the remaining figs to protect them but the jays just pecked through the paper--they're quite persistent. So this summer I decided it was time to protect my figs and came across the AirCrow on Amazon. One of the reviewers mentioned how it protected his figs so I thought I'd give it a try. The AirCrow has been wonderful--none of the figs have been attacked by the jays or any other birds. They've been ripening to perfection. I make a fig preserve type of jam and we love eating the figs too. Also the jays have been leaving our plum tree alone--the Aircrow sits between the fig tree and the plum tree (I also make plum jam). So I've not been stressed this year worrying about my figs (and plums) being eaten by our neighborhood birds!

This air crow does exactly as it is suppose to do keep birds away. I have tried it all to keep birds away from blueberries. This is the only product satisfactory. Netting, noisemakers (neighbors hated me as did my wife) Run several of these and it’s even better.

I bought my Air Crow last year to deter birds and raccoons from eating our blueberries and cherries. It works great and I have had significantly less damage the last two years. I had also purchased another inflatable at the time to have an extra on hand. When I attached the new inflatable, the seam ripped at the elastic. I emailed the company and asked for a replacement to which they responded within hours and shipped me a new one free of charge! Not only is the Air Crow effective , the company is really great too!

WORKED REALLY GREAT AT FIRST, THEN THE BIRDS HAD GOTTEN USED TO IT . KEEP MOVING IT AROUND!!!!!!!!!

Worked great for 2 months; unfortunately July 5 was last return date ... stopped working on July 20th .... still fills with air, but not enough . Just lays on grass!

I like everything about my inflatable, animated scarecrow. It is easy to install with 4 ground anchors & it works great!
