Bird-B-Gone Hawk Decoy, made of heavy-duty plastic, is a life-like red hawk decoy that scares birds from open areas. Its realistic painted features and menacing look deter birds because red-tailed hawks are known for hunting during the day, while most owl species hunt at night when birds are roosting. This makes the hawk a more identifiable predator to birds. Hang it from rope or twine, weight it down, or simply place it in affected areas.
