| | | Re: Fake 'bird-scaring' owl becomes home for family of swallows I bought one and set a really realistic scene in the garden,it was
mobbed for a minute or so then treated as part of the furniture
Those little Swallows certainly have shown their contempt

| | | Re: Fake 'bird-scaring' owl becomes home for family of swallows Aw that is so sweet, how lucky she is to have them nesting there, I'm envious  Perhaps I should buy one of those owls and see what I can attract rather than scare off  |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
