Has anyone noticed these either attracting pigeons, or that pigeons specifically seem to be uninterested?

Squirrels only in my yard - and they love these. However, they are messy and make lots of tiny crumbs that the birds pick up. So no reason pigeons might not go for the specks.

Pigeons here are not interested but an occasional little bird will peck on it.

I have not noticed *any* birds attracted to this product. However, we have both suet and seed feeders in our yard, so the birds are well taken care of year-round, with the pigeons/doves groundfeeding beneath the seed-feeder

I don't know the technical answer to that so you should google that and see what comes back, however, I do have two that are in the sun for a good part of the day and the birds seem to enjoy them and the group hasn't gotten any thinner.

I did not see any doves in the feeder...if there were any, they ate what the other birds dropped!

I just put these (mine are owls) up and so far they haven't worked keeping the blackbirds out of my trees. don't phase them a bit. I know I got them up late so will try again next year.

I have not tried that model, but we have others with the yellow flowers. The birds don't seem to have a preference.

Hi, it may be. Our finches kind of disappeared here about a month ago, we have just one who shows up occasionally. They got scarce when they started turning colors for the winter.

Not at all but it took awhile for the birds to find mine. I did not like the Perky Pet 399 I bought another one that wasn't plastic.

I don't usually get pigeons in my yard, but I do see mourning doves on occasion. They are of a similar size to some pigeon species. The doves only use it for drinking, not bathing.

Hi Felix, if they are, we've never even noticed. They visit for a short time while grabbing a seed. If they stay for lots of seeds, we've had no problems. Good product. The cardinal pictured on the website is smaller than ours.

It worked for me, you have to set the controls inside the back to where it works the best against the pigeons and does not annoy you. Batteries only last me about a month. The included A/C cord works the best, if you can set it up without bothering the appearance.

Yes, and pigeons, too. Mostly crows in Seattle dont care much for small bird seed anyway, but we bought this thing to discourage the pigeons, and it is doing that really well. However, it also keeps out the medium size nice birds (like robins) because the mesh is too small. We get lots of small birds who can enter through the mesh.

Hi! Is there a particular area where the blackbirds like to roost or perch? If so, we can address that issue. Otherwise, it's difficult to rid an area of just one type of bird.

I had pigeons on my roof. It didn't deter them whatsoever. The pigeons crapped all over it so I returned it and got my refund.

Good question! I've hung these over raspberries, now they're in the apple trees. I'll try them by the eaves of my roof and see if they're effective. I'm guessing they will be. Those big tough tough woodpeckers scare easily. Re Robins, they are smart birds and not easily deterred. Everyone thinks the scare balloons are cute hanging amidst the garden, bobbing along. I'll definitely put them up again next year.

Hello we don't see pigeons around here . We do have morning doves and they never attempted to get on it. They stayed on the ground. I don't think you will have an issue; that base is too small for doves or pigeons.

I personally have not seen any grackles on this feeder. I did see a morning dove actually get on the feeder and get some seed. It didn't stay for long though and took up nearly the entire feeder. I saw it once and then it never came back. The smaller birds definitely like feeder better. They fight over it all the time and it is funny to watch.

I notice it does not affect the birds because of the frequency. Birds are all over my yard. There is a different repeller that is set a different frequency to affect birds. Not this one!
