Does it help to scare doves?

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.

I do not have any experience with using this on Geese. I would think though there is a good chance and it would be worth a try. The bright flashes would certainly catch their attention and I would think some effect would be noted in their actions.

I installed two owl decoys to keep doves away from our swim pool. They had no effect. I installed one red tailed hawk decoy, and problem solved. As our smart grandson explained, since owls can see at night, thats when they do their hunting. Therefore, rodents etc. are scared of owls, but doves are not. Red tailed hawks hunt birds (a red tailed hawk lives on a golf course I play often, and I have seen the hawk chasing birds) so I think this is why the hawk was a deterrent, but the owls were not.

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

I don't know if it works on birds...it did NOT work for mice or ants. I would try a more proven method.

Yes..it worked well....it also has a set screw down through the rail to eliminating it from sliding on the dove tail...

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 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!!

If you are asking about protecting the pond from birds it depends. If they just fly down and back up it wont. If the birds stay on the ground it will chase them away

Hard to say, I used it for mice control and it didn't work. Seems to me it should work right away if the sounds from it is suppose to stop the critters from going where you have it.

I don't know, but I would doubt it. The only thing I know that works for geese is a swan decoy.

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'm not sure if it will prevent them from eating at the feeder. The doves at our feeder eat off of the ground though. Maybe that is why?

I have also had problems with owls, but I dont think this light will help. I do think it has helped with foxes. My suggestion for the owls though is to cover your run with chicken wire, or netting. Do you lock up your chickens and geese at night? I also moved my coop and run towards the corner of my yard where I have lots of tree cover and that has seemed to "hide" them better from hawks and owls, both of which have taken my chickens.

Yes the Big Cat 1250 can easily discourage pigeons at 100'. We find the air rifle to be quiet. Used earplugs first use but have found they are not a necessity. We are very happy with this purchase. We sighted the gun in at 60' and we're able to get 3 shots within a fifty cent piece size circle.
