I use it like a scare crow and it works! No more birds eating my garden or my chickens. This is my second one and the first one lasted two years 24/7/365 of constant exposure to the weather. It does a great job of keeping the ravens off my chickens too!

Keeps the bird’s away from our boat.

Bought this to use as a supplement to live birds of prey we hire to scare crows away from a mid-rise residential building. I use it sparingly so as not to get the crowd accustomed to it but it works great. Just the site of of it stirs every crow to flight, the sentinel takes 3 or 4 passes and the whole bunch screams and takes off to another site.

We gave as a Christmas gift and the recipient was overjoyed. He is a birdwatcher and loves hawks so this was perfect. It includes string so pretty much ready to fly after assembly

I loved this kite the minute I saw the picture, so I'm writing this to help those who want to put in the effort. This isn't a basic kite you will have to put work into it.. You'll need to adjust the wing lines because they aren't perfectly balanced. Just wrap the bridle line loop around the wing frame to take up slack that is throwing the kite off balance. This means a lot of trial and error. Kids and frankly most adults don't have the patience but if you do, you will love it. I love the realism so I took off the kite tails

Very happy. It turned into the dirt a bit... we probably need to adjust the lead. The image and size are great.

I purchased the kite for my husband, he really loves kites and this one made him really happy. He has been anxiously awaiting a good kite flying day, he tried yesterday but I think it was still a bit to windy for flying. We received the kite very quickly and in excellent condition. I would recommend the seller and the kite to any other enthusiast I come in contact with.

I am not using it as a kite! I'm using it to keep pesky birds out of my garden! It works better than a scarecrow. Very realistic looking and moves in the wind. Perfect! Haven't had any more issues with unwanted birds. I would imagine that it makes an awesome kite also.

This kite works great to keep the little birdies off of my fruit trees.

We use this on a stationary fishing pole near the pool to keep birds away. It works well. One kite lasts the entire pool season. Also, it looks pretty cool flying out there.

I hang this kite in my office window to keep the birds from emulating kamikaze pilots and hitting the window. So far, it works great, and makes an interesting conversation piece while letting in the light and retaining the view from my window.
