Upgraded Bird Scare Discs Set - Large 24 Discs - Highly Reflective Double-Sided Bird Reflectors Scare Devices - Better to Keep Most Birds Away Like Woodpecker and Pigeon

The media could not be loaded. These worked immediately. I did add some sparkly Mylar fringe that I think might add to the the effectiveness. No more woodpeckers on the gutter downspouts! We also made sure they were attached securely with zip ties so they could not slide. I hope they last the season, they were pretty good quality and design for the price and easy to assemble. They move very well even in a light breeze and the reflection seems to disturb the woodpeckers as much as the movement.

For years now, I've been waging war on birds in my backyard, particularly dove. Yes, I know what you're probably thinking "why dove, how can the universal symbol of peace cause such hostility?" Well, I'll tell you why. Every Spring time, we get our fair share of pigeons, grackle, killdees, martins, hawks, sparrows, etc. Along with those birds, we have dove. For some reason, unbeknownst to me, all the other birds never seem to stick around to build their nests in preparation of the soon to arrive newborns. Thank Goodness, Right? Yes! I'm beyond thankful that those birds decide to take up residency somewhere else, no problem. I don't know what it is about my backyard that makes it such a dove magnet. I truly wouldn't mind if they made their home in my backyard but the places they choose to build their nests are not the best places at all. The two main locations are right under the eve of my patio roof. I'm talking, right on top of the mounted speaker and the other location is on top of the outdoor roller shade that's mounted on the outside wall of the kitchen, right over the place where the bar is and where people sit. This might seem like prime real estate for the dove but I'm the one paying the mortgage here and I get the final say! They're like bad relatives that you're really okay if you only see at funerals and weddings. They are beyond messy with the poop and nest materials that are constantly falling on the surfaces where I serve food. Not to mention the occasional egg that falls and cracks or the baby that jumped too soon... I've actually shed lots of tears in these times. The emotional roller coaster that these dove have put me through is too much. I've witnessed "flight day" where both mom & dad teach their young how to fly. It's pretty awesome to witness. So, this proves that I do have a heart, somewhere in this body. I digress, I'm sorry... Okay, back to the review. Over the years, I've purchased the following items to deter the dove, which all ended with failed results: scary rubber snake (scared me more than the birds), big plastic owl (one dove would actually sit on it's head), super sonic sound emitter that was motion detected (it repelled my husband and I more than the birds. Ear piercing is an understatement), long, metal spikey strips (which the dove used to help secure their nests even better to the above said locations) & the famous flashy, reflective tape that made my backyard look more like a 24/7 disco party. I kinda liked the look for a hot minute but then, not so much...Then, (drum roll please) I found these little reflective discs with christmas ornament type hooks. This to me was a much better choice than the reflective tape simply because of the hook and the extra weight they have, verses the tape that is, by the way, now wrapped around the rafters of my pergola due to the wind.Yes as others have mentioned, there's some assembly involved. Not a problem. Put on a favorite TV show, some good music or an Audible book and zone out. It's mindless work that will have you putting these together like a pro in no time at all. Hey, I'd rather do the work myself rather than pay more $$$ for someone else to do it. I bought my first set of these discs last year. So far, the dove have only come as far as the fence line and that's about it. My husband found remnants of a nest that was in the beginning stages but was abandoned, Thank God! So all in all, I am dove free! Hallelujah!

Worked for Peacocks. I purchased these out of desperation. Our new house has peacocks. I did not know they screeched all night. It was so bad we had to sleep in the guest room. The other suggestions we read about were not practical. These discs really worked. We have not had a peacock in our yard since we put them up. We are telling all our neighbors about them. The reason I gave 4 stars is because you have to assemble them. I did not realize I would spend 45 minutes putting them together.

These are a real pain to put together. Hand I known it was so time and patience intensive I would never have bought them! You will probably split your nails trying to remove the protective film on both sides. The other pieces are harder to deal with than the film. Why couldn't the Seller just charged more money and sold them already put together. Buy something else. UGH!

Can’t complain about the product or material they are made of, but ineffective against bird deterrent

Purchased them for wood peckers actively banging on the house. I set these up & watched from a distance. One flew back to where it was drilling, looked a bit confused and flew away. That was weeks ago and never came back. One morning I heard one banging on the chimney outer casing on a different side of the house. I had extra disks, assembled three on one string and attached it to the gutter & never came back. The product worked. If you’re reading this you have woodpeckers. Buy it.

These discs are amazing! They move in the breeze and shine brightly. I have two hung on each of my tomato cages to ward off the crows. My garden looks like it is dressed for a party!

This product is described as being large discs and the product information shows the size to be 3.8" x 3.8" so I was expecting these discs to be 3.8 inches in diameter. Instead they are 3 inches in diameter, no larger than many of the competitor products, though some do have 4 inch discs. And this is suppose to be an upgraded product? The discs are a rigid plastic but certainly no more than half the thickness of a CD. Really does not seem worth the price.
