Swoop Hawk Kite

Just erected this a week ago and it’s broken already. Base pole split, waster of money and unable to contact seller to complain.

The poles did not connect properly so the thing came down 3 or 4 times, had to retrieve kite from neighbours. Had to file down the ends to get them to fit in the adjoining pole. Not clear how to string the kite together (no pictures) eventually got it up and it has made absolutely no difference, the pigeons still root 5 feet away from it, total waste of money. The connecting carbon fibre structure within the kite itself snapped and the end piece fell off to secure the kite to the pole. It is now in bits and totally useless

I agree with the much of the earlier review comments. This product is flimsy, it takes constant re-fixing. It isnt robust, and it isnt a long term product. One cant set it up and just leave it. I wouldnt recommend it for a farmer's field, for example. HOWEVER, it DOES WORK. Our garden path was absolutely covered in horrible bird droppings, the thick dark kind. As fast as I washed the path clean, it was drenched by the next day. We set up the Hawk Kite, cleaned the path the same day, and since then we've not had a single dropping on the path. The Hawk has scared the birds away. Even 2 weeks after the Kite broke, the path is clean. This Hawk works - just dont expect it to stay up for long without having to keep re-fixing it.

Sorry to say but I was hoping that for the price I would get something a bit more substantial. Anyhow, I did set it up, it got tangled up very quickly with the pole that holds it meaning that the kite wouldn't fly properly, rendering it pretty useless. Following that the string that holds the kite from the pole snapped after a couple of days of use. Disappointing...

Needed this to scare the pigeons from our roof, it works great, quality is good had been battered by the strong winds and snow we've had, some of the edging has come loose but doesn't affect it.

The item is easy to set up and works fairly well whilst the wind is blowing. It's the noise of the pole going up and down that scares the birds as much as the kite. However, after only 32 days (2 days beyond the return window), the item snapped and became unusable. It is neigh impossible to find the name of the seller in order to email directly with my complaint and so the only option is to write this poor review. Very unsatisfactory.

Works we’ll scares the pigeons off but have to alternate it as they can get us to it

This has to be the worst bit of rubbish that I have ever bought. A handyman fitted it up for me and he wondered how long it would last. One hour to be precise and then the whole thing collapsed at the first gust of wind. I gathered it up and took it to the local tip the next day. Incidentally, while it was up in the air, all the usual birds were quite happy to still come into my garden and the rooks which I so badly wanted to keep out just ignored it and came to reek havoc as usual.

Bien mais devraient allez plus haut

Un poco endeble para el trabajo que tiene que hacer porque el viento rompe el cordel co el que viene

werkt en schrikt af. Wel al een paar keer de fiber steel (vishengel) afgebroken door de wind. Maar gebruik de vogel nog steeds.

Easy to install, just as big as expected and flies great

Rempli sa fonction première qui est d'effrayer et d'éloigner les oiseaux... ça marche
