Reflect-a-Bird

I had purchased this product before. I have purchased more to distribute around other areas of my yard. Well worth the investment because these work.

I have done everything to keep Bird Droppings off of my plane... Forget Ultra Sonic... Our birds are already deaf... I have tried everything imaginable except shooting them, but the airport frowns on Firearms. This item actually works. it has been now been months since my plane has been targeted... The Planes close to me have not been bombarded either! I purchased a second and put on the other side of the plane... The wind ALWAYS blows at my airport, so that is not an issue... Good Ridden to the Birds! I did not want to drill into airport structure and I may want to move it some what to keep the birds off balance... I used small C-Clamps that I got from Lowes and that works great. Note the images and Video! - After using for sometime now, About 6 months, it has greatly helped... But when there isn't much wind/breeze they tend to show up anyway... I now have 2 of them... Add 1 and problem returned... Going to take one down to see if 2 was just too much. Follow up on this.. With the 2nd one installed (1 on the each side of the plane)... No MORE Birds within 3 Parking spots either way!

I got this knowing the reviews were not so good and a lot mention it not spinning. I ordered anyway thinking it can't be too hard to fix if there was a problem. I got it and removed it from the box. Immediately I noticed it was binding when I spun it. There was no way it would even spin with a breeze. Since it only had 4 screws and looked simple, I decided to take it apart to trouble shoot. As soon as I separated the spinner from the bearing you could see the problem. They used a standard sealed bearing. The problem was on one side, it looked like someone took a hammer and screwdriver to the bearing shield and dented it all in on one half. Since it was dented in on one half, the other half was raised. The raised side was rubbing against the retainer clip preventing it from spinning freely. The stand is nice and solid, the spinner is chromed plastic (as I expected). The only fault was someone jacked up the bearing. I will return for another one because Im sure it will do the job. The question is, how many will I get before I get one that is functioning correctly. I don't have the option to add a pic here, but will try to add one after I submit this. REVIEW UPDATE: seller replaced item immediately, great customer service. Attaching a picture to show that this device does not seem to faze the cactus Wren

Great product!! Birds have never came back. Our HOA didn’t like it being shiny so we spray painted it to match the roof. Only problem is the bolt that is included is too short so the movable part flew off after a short time. Luckily it was still on the roof since we have a flat roof and did not break. We were able to find a longer one at Home Depot with the same thread so we could replace it and add a nut to the back to secure it. The original screw was not long enough to do that. For the price they should have thought of that but it works great at keeping the birds away.

What's more annoying than some dopey bird pecking at your roof at 6:00 AM? No longer do I find myself outside squirting the little twerp with a hose to drive him off. This is particularly true of the lovely desert woodpeckers that poke holes in anything that's stationary for more than 3 seconds. I bought this item with little hope that it would work. To my surprise, it does! Now... for it to work, it has to move as woodpeckers, apparently, don't seem to like shiny moving things. When the air movement ceases, the effectiveness drops. Since we live in the desert Southwest, flat roofs are common and there are few places to affix these to where they would catch the breeze. My solution was to mount it in proximity to the air stream of the fan on our roof mounted heat pump. When it's running, the reflector rotates... which is what deters the little twerps in the early morning hours as the heat pump is either running to heat or cool at that time of day. The rest of the day, it's breezy enough for the reflector to spin on it's own. Oddly, spooking the woodies has also reduced their desire to destroy our orange crop... a nice side benefit. Now, if only I could find something to chase off those dopey Mourning Doves that use the entire world as their toilet.....

It doesn’t seem to bother woodpeckers. Hours after setting it up I heard them pecking at the wall and slamming into the window. When I went to look a weeopecker was standing right next to the spinner. It is built well, and will probably last. Spins great with a light breeze. Not the best choice for scaring away woodpeckers.

I first bought the Bird-B-Gone Spider 360 in the 2-foot model. I wanted something to put on the antenna mast so the birds and woodpeckers would not sit on the antenna and leave bird droppings on my flat garage roof. From the photo, I bought a 3/4 inch galvanized floor flange and 3/4 inch PVC pipe so that I could put together a way to mount this on the 1.25 antenna mast. I was disappointed with the spider and even with a 20 mph wind the spider did not rotate and the stainless steel arms did not move. I still had woodpeckers clinging to the antenna mast and decided to exchange this for the Bird-B-Gone Reflect-A-Bird because it mentions that it is good for woodpeckers. I used the same mount but had to drill new holes the the base of the Reflect-A-Bird so that I could mount it on top of my antenna mast. Even with a one mph wind the reflector spins, and no more woodpeckers. This by far is the best device and since installing it I have not had a bird or woodpecker on the antenna. I also added several Reflective Scare Rods that I bought on Amazon and they spin in the wind and keep the birds off of the antenna. By adding these devices it does not interfere with receiving a great signal from the antenna. This really works and that is why I am writing my review because the Reflet-A-Bird is worth the money.

This spinner is the only thing I have found to stop woodpeckers from hammering on my house and 4 of the neighbors' homes, as well. Bought clear weatherproof Gorilla Glue and glued the metal base of the spinner to a 12 inch by 12 inch ceramic tile and put up on my patio roof. Such a great relief from the noise and worry of the possible damage to our home. Previous home, a woodpecker hammered a hole in our patio roof. I have spent some money purchasing the teardrop shape reflectors, a roll of flashing tape, bird spikes to put in gutters, etc. Nothing completely stopped the woodpeckers, until I put up this spinner! Have seen businesses with these on their roofs, but did not know what they were called or where they bought them from. When searching Amazon, I accidentally stumbled across this spinner. While I thought it a bit pricey, decided I had to have it. Best purchase ever if dealing with woodpeckers or anything else, that shiny movements will scare off!

Never pay more than £15 for this! I paid £77 thinking it will be of use and last forever. It didn't even come with a pole to mount it on. The only metal bits are the base and the 20cm bit connecting base with the plastic top rotating assembly. Avoid!

It is a well made Product, it seems to be doing the job of deterring the birds, time will tell.
