Can I also use it to selectively scare sparrows? Will it shock them from the perch?

No, the anaimal has to be on the coils. The purches do not get the electric shock.

No definitely not, it won't even shock the squirrels that are just hanging on by the bird perches. Hope this helps.

I'd call it more of a deterrent. The birds find it uncomfortable. Works better against smaller birds. I've seen some pretty big woodpeckers - don't know if they'd even notice it!

I'm not sure. We were hoping it would scare the birds away, especially woodpeckers. (Our house is all wood) But it did not work. Now it just sits there now as an ornament.

It has a range for birds, not specifically pigeons. Mine didn't work to keep the black birds and starlings off of our boat cover and dock area. I contacted the company twice about the proper setting for the birds and it didn't keep the birds away. I actually thought a few times the birds were having a convention on our dock. I sent it back.

I would check with your vet because I am not sure if it should be used on birds. It is an excellent quality item with a low and high speed.

these do not scare birds but they have worked on birds hitting my window. But I do have to replace them every few years. I cut up yarn and put in suet cake holders and the birds love it. I go through a ton of yard.

That's exactly what happens. I had a Sparrow that laid an egg and it hatched into a cute baby bird. Then the mommy bird got spooked and never came back and the baby bird died of starvation. I had a curtain behind the window and made sure to be quiet. I think it is a very risky design that is not good for the birds.

Dear Karen, Hey there. The ET Pest Control is 100% safe to use around birds. Birds cannot hear the sound frequencies coming from the ET, they are way too high for them to hear. Hope this helps!

Not really. It's as loud as if you clapped your hand. The bbs could scare the birds away however. They go very far with the co2.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

I am sure this coating is toxic and birds will drink from a bath. I feel this could make them sick or possibly worse. I used it on brick and it did not work for me.

No. This is made out of plastic. It scares birds; would not deter an intruder. We also bought bird spikes made out of stainless steel. These, too, would not stop a breakin.

I'm sorry but I have no idea. I've not tried it on anything other than starlings. And it sure doesn't work with them.

I believe it would scare it...but if it got close enough , Stun it....it might scare your 2 little baby's, I also carry it when i walk my little baby(i love animals)

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

Do not know works for sparrows and black crows in our area use it to keep them away from pool deck.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.
