will it also bother birds

It doesn't seem to bother mine, but then I don't aim it AT the bird feeders, I aim it toward fence where cats were coming into back yard.

It's was very effective at chasing away a colony of feral cats from my large backyard. I live in south Texas, which has a lot of butterflies and all sort of birds. I initially set up three units. The devices did not appear to discourage birds and butterflies. In fact, they seemed to increase their visits to my yard after the cats disappeared.

No. I placed it under a tree in my garden and the birds still nest in the tree. The cats are gone.

No! It's quite entertaining to watch the repeated attempts on the part of the "rats with furry tails" to access the seed to no avail. The only drawback is the frustrated squirrel will often urinate on the feeder. This in no way affects the birds returning to the feeder. I should note that the feeder has an adjustable spring for the closure device that can be set such that bigger birds cannot get into the feeder.

The aluminium foil like side of the product is what remains exposed after installation so i don't think it will harm your birds, unless they try to eat it but i wouldn't see why they would do that. however the product does have some weight to it so i'm not sure how well it will stay on your walls.

It will work, birds will be scared away from the sound and light coming from the box. You need to leave it on the sound mode and in the area that has the most bird problem.

I don't think so. This has happened to me a couple of times and the bird bath seems no worse for it.

anything that passes in front of the red beam will set the machine off. Whether or not your birds will be able to hear the sound, i have no idea. Humans cannot hear it. If dogs could hear it, i would think they would call it "animal scram" and not "catscram" so i doubt that your birds will hear it, but don't know for sure.

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.

If the birds get near the ground, it may scare them away. Any type of motion near the ground will set it off. If the bird feeder is way up high, then i wouldnt worry about it.

I doubt it. It didn't have any effect on ducks, geese, squirrels, birds or rabbits. Another buyer said the only way it would chase anything away is if you throw it at them. I have to agree.

No, it makes no noticeable sound. However, the birds still find the moving water more attractive than still water.

I have not had problems with birds, but have had 2 black snakes get tangled in it when it was on the ground-- I used it to protect my tulips, and when the foilage died, it was on the ground and they got trapped in it.

No, mainly for small birds like tit mouse, chickadee , some Downey woodpecker.

No, the birds don't seem to take any notice of the sound--I understand it can only be heard by cats. Some cats, however, are immune to the sound. I bought three to cover the areas around my bird feeder and birdbath!

Nothing that I know of. But I have heard that if you wipe the outside of the red cap with white vinegar it will help and not hurt the birds.

No. I think there is just too much going on for the birds to want to go near it. But on a positive note it looks really pretty and it has been outside for the last year and a half.

Probably! Depends if the squirrels like music or not! It might also scare the birds,

If birds can hear it most likely humans can hear it. Birds have a similar hearing range to us, unlike dogs. Complete waste of money and annoying to boot.
