The OFFO bird scare device uses double-sided mirrored blades that reflect light and create a disturbance for birds, helping stop them approaching, roosting or nesting. It needs no electricity, so it suits Australian patios, balconies, railings, roofs and gardens.
How the Bird Scare Reflective Device Works
The polygonal blades reflect light on both sides, with an extra blade on top for a wider reflective surface. Internal bearings let the blades rotate smoothly in the wind. You don't need to plug it in or add batteries.
Installing the Bird Scare Device
It comes with the tools and accessories needed for installation. You can mount it horizontally or vertically, which suits railings, roofs, signs and other spots where birds land. The listing says the blades can be taken off and replaced.
Where to Use a Bird Repellent Device
The listing recommends buildings, rooftops, boats, agricultural settings, gardens, patios, railings and outdoor spaces. The title mentions pigeons and sparrows. For more ways to keep birds off a balcony, see our guide to keeping birds off balcony plants.
