What about bears?????

I don't know about Bears but it works pretty good for hawks and hoot owls. I have found that the C9 clear Christmas lights hanging in the chicken pen on a timer to come on at dark works better than anything. make sure you have extra fuses for the lights. and wrap the cord where you plug the lights in to make it water tight if it rains. It is bright enough to keep the unwanted out and not upset the chickens. I have added some red Christmas lights to go with the solar lights and nothing is getting my chickens now. Don't know it any of this helps but the solar lights are worth the money. The electric strobe lights work too, but you have to make a water proof box to put them in.

We do have bears in Northern California, but unfortunately, I have no idea if this would deter them. It's worth a try. Good luck.

Bears are rarely seen here in the farmlands, but I suspect they wouldn't be deterred. They are more likely after your trash than a garden. It might be worth a try though.

Not sure on the bear. I believe you can sight it to 100yrds. Its a really nice sight

Its about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch. The raccoons have left mine alone as long as you keep it far enough away from other objects they can climb and jump to it from. (Same goes for the squirrels). It also helps if you let your dogs out when the raccoons or squirrels are poking around the feeder. As for Bears.....bring it in at night.

They are beads. They don't seem like they will come off easily, but I wouldn't leave a small child alone with it. Other than that, my girls love these bears (one has the darker brown bear, one has this bear).

Jessica, I think they would work for them too. It makes predators think another predator is there already so it should work. I have not had any problems with the coyotes, bobcats or mountain lions at night since getting them. Still have to watch for them during the daylight though.

Dear Mr. Brady, We absolutely guarantee the size of our bear. It is 65" from the tip of the ear to the tip of the foot. The girl holding this bear in the picture is 5'5". The weight of our bear is 10 lbs. Are the cheaper and smaller bears you are referring to in your question from us? The "cheaper and smaller" bears you refer to in your question are not from us, correct? We would love to have you as a customer and believe you will be more than satisfied with our Giant Bear.

What we did was to take two heavy duty shepard's hooks and placed them around the feeders perches. The birds love the extra hooks as perches while they wait in line to feed at this feeder. The shepard's poles has worked for us for several years.... although we don't have bears testing them!pGood luck!

They have a slight matalic oder if any at all. We have used them in an area with a large black bear population and haven't been visited by any.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email.Jim

I don't know since pigeons are not a problem where I live. However, I was disappointed to find the bears will come within 3 feet of it and go right ahead and attack the trash can.

I am not sure, I use it to keep bears away from my bees. However, the bears seem to go where they want to go!

I believe it would, but we have never tried as they are not a problem for us. Mainly the bear! It is very loud and carries for a mile!

I have not erected this pole yet as the ground is frozen and we are looking for the best place to put it up. In our circumstances bears tend to bend poles left out from March 15th to Nov 1st. They want to eat the brid seed and especially suet. As for smaller predators like cats it does seem to offer some protection but we have two large dogs so they may disuade cats as well. Mostly poles, baffles and squrriel proff feeders all seem to keep squirrels away which is our real goal.

Hi Mimi. Actually, the bear does have a small portion of beans in its bottom. He sits perfectly and is beyond wonderful.

I googled the answer... I'll look for the answer after the bears v packers game

Can't really say since I haven't used the disks, but the little bears work like a charm in brown sugar and dried fruit. If the material is the same, I would think they would work equally well. Love the little guys though.
