A shake head owl decoy for the vegetable bed, balcony rail or shed roof: the 26.5 cm painted plastic owl has its head on a spring, so every gust makes it bob and turn the way a live bird would. That movement is what makes pigeons and sparrows wary, and there is nothing to plug in or charge. It is part of our Home Essentials collection.
