Does it help to scare doves
79020
I would have to say no it does not! I have 3 of these owls hanging around my back yard and the birds still come to my feeders even the doves. I purchased these thinking they would keep the squirrels out the pecan trees, but that is not happening either. Hope this helps you!!

It seems to be woking for me. I have a wooden glider and the birds would sit on the top and their droppings would cover the top and fall through to the seats. I hung one owl from the canopy. It swings in the breeze and the colors are quite reflective as it does. It works pretty good.

I use this fence to keep the dogs away from my chickens, I have hit the wire feeding and it gets your attention, its more of a pop that scares you cuz your not ready for it, it didn't really hurt. But if a young child walks into they will cry cuz it does scare more than hurt.

i was using it to keep chipmunks and raccoons from nibbling on my garden. i don't know what it would do to hawks.

It should be fine with doves. The active ingredient is botanical. Try searching for 'poultry dust toxicity doves pigeons' on the net.

Doves are ground or platform feeders. This would not be conducive to them as they do not perch when they eat.

Not sure I think it depends on the bird your trying to scare. I am using mine on woodpeckers. The owl did nothing! The metallic tape works the best!

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!

Here's some info on keeping pigeons away: http://www.backyardchirper.com/bird-info-237.htmlWe have two of the Brome feeders and some mourning doves; I've never seen a dove perch on our feeders. I think you'll be happy with the Brome. David, Great Falls, VA

Hi Grace......at first our birds would come and peck at it and fly away. I thought this is not going to work, but then low and behold they started coming back and figured out how to feed from it. Now we have them all back plus the morning doves, raccoons and squirrels. The spring is too tight to close the doors when the doves and squirrels get on it so we close it at night with a small bungie cord. Hope this helps :)

It kept birds away. Rodents got used to it. Get a cat, or launch projectiles with a barreled instrument.

I have not seen any doves using this feeder.( It is hung on an upper deck, so it may be higher than they like.) No woodpeckers either, but nuthatches, titmice, finches, chickadees and of course sparrows all use it.

Depends on the mode you put it in. To scare the birds we had here we did have to put it in human audible level. The only nice thing is we do not see the birds really attempting to come into the area anymore so the alarm only goes off if a bird attempts to land. Been very effective so far.

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

It does work with jays. Not sure about mourning doves though. If I'm not mistaken I believe that mourning doves prefer ground foraging.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to scare even small birds with this device. I have located it in several locations to no avail. I have gone to a blow up snake stuffed into the area where these birds are attempting to next. I still have the Owl hanging in the poximity however.

No it will not affect birds , the sound emitted targets only squirrels , rodent , ect.
