If you are using a plastic owl on your loft or home, it will initially
also scare
your birds, but your birds will get used to it real fast. You might
want to place
your flyers in a wire cage next to the plastic owl for a few days so
they can get
used to it, and any movements it might have. (Rotating head, wings,
etc.)

The owl should also help rid your yard of ferals, who will decide not
to come back
BEFORE they get used to it.%^)

However, these plastic owls are not much use for the birds that get
attacked in the air.
Hawks will not break off their attacks unless they pass close and see
the owl.
