Bisley Long Eared Owl Shell – 17in Bird Deterrent Decoy
The Bisley Long Eared Owl Shell is a 17-inch decoy owl designed to deter birds from roosting or feeding on fruit trees, newly seeded lawns, boats, and other outdoor areas. As a hollow, moulded shell, it features life-like eyes and natural colouring to appear as a realistic predator at a distance. Birds are naturally wary of areas where an owl seems to be watching, which helps reduce bird activity.
The decoy can be hung or securely fixed to hard surfaces such as beams, walls, masts, or boat rails — placed directly where birds are landing or resting. No base or stake is required. The durable construction ensures it withstands outdoor conditions throughout the season.

Installed on our fruit tree fence and has reduced bird activity noticeably. The realistic eyes and natural look make it seem like a real owl. Easy to hang and stays in place even in wind. Works well for a few months so far.

Placed on the boat rail and birds have stopped landing there. The shell looks authentic and doesn’t require any base. A simple and effective solution for bird deterrence.

Great product for a garden with young fruit trees. The decoy stays put and looks natural. Birds avoid the area where it’s placed. No maintenance needed and it’s durable in rain and sun.

It looks good and is easy to install. However, after a few weeks, the eyes started to fade slightly. Still effective, but may need reapplication of colour over time.
