17 inch Realistic Hanging Dead Crows Decoy Lifesize Extra Large Black Feathered Scare Deterrent Crow

Had 30 - 40 crows circling in alarm and they were not happy! Only use it now and again for a few hours at a time so that crows dont get used to it.

This works amazingly well to scare away crows! They had taken over our birdfeeders. They were eating the seeds and slinging the seeds to the ground to feed the rest of the group!! I googled how to get rid of crows and this "dead" crow came up so we decided to try it. It looks so real, the beak, feathers, claws and size. I was really surprised at how good it looks. That night we hung it off one of the arms of the bird feeder holder. We didn't want the crows to see us. The next morning the crows came and they went crazy! They cawed and cawed for hours. Sometimes one would swoop down. We did not hang out the feeders that first day of the dead crow. The second day we hung out the feeders and the regular birds came. They were a little hesitant at first but they gradually ignored the dead crow. On day 3 we placed the crow on the ground under the feeders (we moved it at night). Still no crows at the feeders!! For a few days some crows would come to the trees and caw for a couple of minutes and leave. They never came down to the feeders or inspected the dead crow. Two times later in the month a single crow landed on a feeder. I shouted at it one time and it left. We see crows in the front of the house but not in the back where we keep the feeders. Why did you pick this product vs others?: I liked the description best and the reviews. Sturdiness: Its been outside and on the ground for about 3 weeks. The squirels push it out of their way and its still only lost 2 feathers and looks good. Realistic: VERY realistic

This is really realistic. The crows have a daily meeting and always make the same sound. Then I don't see them for the rest of the day. Although someone in the neighbourhood had asked me to remove it, stating it's disgusting (see it looks real), I'm incredibly happy with Greg (I named him that) although Russell would have been good too.

Arrived as advertised but worked for just 1 day!

Totally realistic and totally effective. I was having breakfast outside years ago and my colleague observed the way to get rid of the crow problem was to shoot one. Just one. I remembered this when the crows convened daily on my condo balcony, apparently for a bathroom break. I bought two crows and the problem stopped. After about a month I removed the crows and in a week or two they returned. I put these back out and left them. No more crows.
