StopGull Falcon - Hawk Kite
StopGull Falcon - Hawk Kite is designed to keep seagulls, cormorants and other shorebirds away from boats, mega-yachts and marinas.
Designed to fly around in the lightest of breezes, this lifelike representation of a Falcon will keep seagulls and other birds away from the surrounding area. Its deterrant effect is instant and permanent as the slightest breeze will cause the StopGull Falcon - Hawk Kite to perform chopped flights and dives of up to 10m casting its shadow and silhouette long distances.
The bird itself is made of aeronautical polyester polymer fabric printed with UV resistant ink and featuring brass, nickel and stainless steel fittings. It attaches to the 7 meters telescopic fibreglass mast with a nylon line which appears invisible against the sky.
- The StopGull Falcon - Hawk Kite is designed to remain in flight continuously, only sustained with a slight breeze.
- The device comes equipped with:
- A 7 meters high telescopic mast.
- An invisible rope, which allows the Hawk ScareCrow do swoops flights of about 10 meters. This casts its silhouette's shadow to long distances.
- Hawk body made of high-strength aeronautic fabric.
- Coverage: Protects an area of 700 m2 up to 1.200m2.
- Easy to install
- Install the StopGull Falcon with an inclination of about 70 degrees.
- Do not install the StopGull Falcon in a vertical way.
- Firmly fix the sections of the telescopic mast with a rotating movement.
delighted with the purchase
I installed it last Friday. I had an average of 60 doves perched on the trees and the fence. Since then, I haven’t seen a single one, nor any sparrows or thrushes. So, I’m very pleased.
5 stars
It seems to have worked well.
At the moment, it works quite well
Very practical and easy to install
Customer service is a 10
I haven't tried the falcon yet. But it arrived with a broken part, and I had it replaced at home within two days. There are similar cheaper products, but you have to cross your fingers that everything arrives well. In this case, having support compensates for the price difference.

Excellent!
EXCEPTIONAL
Good product and service. Very pleasant and efficient treatment. I had a problem with a mast and they sent me another one free of charge quickly.
Everything lost
One of the masts broke on the first day. One of the kites on the first day also had its string break and got lost. We mounted the remaining kite on the mast that was fine, and its string also broke, so we have been left without kites for a week.
Fantastic for deterring pigeons
In the area where I live, there is a real pigeon problem. I had tried many things to scare them away with little success. I bought the Falcon with low expectations, but to my surprise, it was a huge success. I have a 500m plot, and since I installed it, pigeons avoid perching on my trees, and the garden stays clean. I see them flying around my house, but they don't come close. I highly recommend it for dealing with pigeons. Additionally, I had a small issue, and the after-sales service worked perfectly.
Spectacular and realistic, as well as effective
Well-designed and crafted product. I've ordered a second one as a spare, very effective and beautiful to watch as sometimes the wind seems to make the hawk's wings flap. In my opinion, they should also consider selling the hawk on its own without the supporting pole.
Very good product
It perfectly meets expectations. There are no longer any birds. Excellent service and attention from birdgard. Highly recommended.
It's useless
The bird came loose with hardly any wind on the second day and I lost it.
Very good
Falcon of good construction and with a super realistic flight, it works very well!!
Good product
It's fine and meets expectations. For now, there are no birds in the area. However, I should have bought the 7-meter one.
It does its work well
I wasn't very sure if it would work, but since I installed it, the pigeons no longer land on the roof of my house. I've had it for a week and so far it delivers what it promises. The material is of good quality and the kite flies well despite having to use the shorter rope. Fully satisfied.
It simply doesn't work
It doesn't scare away birds and it's always spinning.
hawk scarecrow
For now it seems to work, let's hope it lasts... anyway, a very well-made product with good materials.
Not satisfactory
Unfortunately, to scare off seagulls, it hasn't worked for me at all. No efficacy, they don't leave the roof and they even attack it! It may be because they are breeding and become very aggressive. Anyway. It also seemed a bit expensive to me, although I wouldn't mind if it were effective. Next year I will try before they settle in, because they always come back!
CORRECT PRODUCT BUT DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY DETER
We bought it in the community because we are having seagulls that get into the pool. The same day we put it up, precisely overflying the pool, a seagull got in again, so I think it does not fulfill the expected function.
I am very happy with the results
I placed it in a wheat field and it works quite well, thank you very much.

Excellent product
Excellent and efficient
Excellent and efficient.
Valid
Valid, but too expensive considering the materials.
Very effective
in the vineyard it has been very effective. We are in a wooded area with trees and shrubs and this year, finally, we have found an effective and quiet solution.
Great
I have bought a spare hawk, because the other one has broken after two years of use. The product works very well. I am very satisfied and recommend it to everyone.
VERY EFFECTIVE
VERY GOOD, I HAD A PROBLEM, AND IT WAS SOLVED RIGHT AWAY, WE ARE VERY HAPPY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
It has been a total success. Even better than expected.
The Cabildo de Gran Canaria commissioned us (Arqueocanaria) a project to control a colony of pigeons at the Cenobio del Valerón, and thus prevent the accumulation of droppings, feathers and decomposing pigeon carcasses in this tourtistic place.
We searched the Internet for leading companies in pigeon control solutions, and decided to contact BirdGard Iberia. After a telephone conversation to explain our case, we were recommended to combine different solutions to scare pigeons away from the site: BroadBand Pro + Hawk Scarecrow + AviFin Gel.
The solutions we implemented worked perfectly and, despite the fact that there was no human presence at the site for months, the repellers did their job and the pigeons have not returned to the area.
In short, the solution that BirdGard Iberia advised us to prevent pigeons from nesting in the site has worked wonderfully. We are very satisfied. We have managed to prevent the corrosion of the deposit stone and ensure that there are no health risks for the public that visits us.
Without hesitation, I recommend BirdGard Iberia solutions for pigeon control to all restoration companies that, like us, must manage historical heritage and protect it from the harmful effect of pigeons. We have also recommended it to the Cabildo de Canarias.
Bad
In less than three hours, it flew away, impossible to evaluate it, but perhaps the fixation is not entirely good.
Response to the previous review
Good evening Emilia,
Don't worry, we will send you another kite to replace the one you have lost.
We leave you here a video on how to properly tie the knot on the kite:

We are at your disposal for whatever you need.
Best regards,
BirdGard Iberia
It seems quite efficient due to its way of flying, even with little wind
I bought this flying hawk to prevent gulls from nesting on the roof, like last year. As nesting begins in April, I still don't know if it will achieve the goal, but I think it will because it has kept most of the other birds away, like pigeons, for example.
Excellent results
Some time ago our maintenance company bought the bird gard pro 20 gull deterrent. This year we completed the purchase with two hawk kite bird scarers.
The combination of the sound deterrent with the visual deterrents has given excellent results.
It works very well
I bought the hawk, as you recommended. I put it in place and it works very well, no pigeon comes near anymore!!! Thank you for your advice.
Very good
Although I still don't have enough experience to know if it fulfills its function, I am quite happy with its ability to move - even with little wind - and its resistance to strong wind.
Not suitable for city terraces
I don't know if it's because I bought the shorter mast (5m), but I have a huge terrace on the 9th floor and I can't use it because it gets caught on all the chimneys, I don't know if with two more meters of mast, the problem would be solved. In any case, disappointed and without a solution for the gull problem.
Very effective
We are a group of food industry companies. I cannot reveal the name of the company due to company policy, but I want to share our experience.
We purchased the first pigeon deterrent BirdGard Pro #35 in September 2019 along with a Prowler Owl. We had a plague of pigeons in the factory compound. There were about 300 pigeons!
The BirdGard Pro #35 works very well. Within a few days of installing it, 80% of the pigeons left. The remaining 20% were captured and removed. We were advised to do this because if some bolder or older specimens, which have less hearing capacity, stayed in the area, they could end up attracting others.
Since then, we have not had a single pigeon in the area protected by the equipment. However, to prevent them from returning to the area, we have a timer and keep the equipment operating every day for certain hours of the day.
The Prowler Owl also has an effect because the pigeons hear the owl's cry and see it flying in the factory.
Since we made this first installation, we have extended the solution to two other factories in the group that also had problems with pigeons. One in 2020 and the other now in 2021. In all cases it has worked very well for us.
I highly recommend it.
I have a house with a roof inhabited by more than 30 pigeons. At the moment I installed the kite, all of them left and have not returned. It is very realistic and even aesthetic. It performs flights even when there is almost no wind. It is very quiet, so it does not disturb at night. Be careful, you have to adjust the length of the thread so that the kite does not get caught in the antennas or chimneys.
Good product, but the rod is a bit fragile at the tip
Excellent for keeping birds away. The only problem I had was that the segment at the tip of the rod is quite fragile and broke accidentally on the first day - it deserved a small reinforcement inside, even if it slightly reduces the movement of the bird. After breaking, I put the last segment next to the previous one and vulcanized it with a heat-shrink sleeve without any problems so far.
Effectiveness questionable
We have followed the instructions, installing this equipment with the main purpose of scaring away the pigeons that circulate around our house, generating continuous waste, but the result after 20 days and having changed the position of the equipment three times, is deficient, as it has demonstrated negative effectiveness.
Too expensive for its effectiveness
The 7 meter telescopic mast is insufficient and also does not match the fishing line. It has not given us good results, and even less for the price. The transport is very expensive, compared to other products. The price to recommend it in our Cooperative seems excessive.
It was efficient while it lasted.
The hawk disappeared with the wind that hit Galicia, winds of 80 km/hour.
Good
It exceeded our expectations
Good
Ho installato EOLO da pochi giorni e le rondini effettivamente sono scomparse. Da verificare se l'oggetto potrà durare nei mesi…
Meets its promise.
The result has been good, perfectly fulfilling the purpose for which it is intended.
Easy to install and it works!
I installed the falcon on my terrace about two weeks ago. Up until then, every day my terrace was covered in seagull droppings, they would perch on the chimney and roof. Since installing the falcon, I haven't had any more seagull droppings. Although they still fly around, there are fewer of them and they only fly along the side of my terrace, they don't pass overhead.
Effective, but with some faults.
It works, but you have to be careful because sometimes the mast goes down, other times the kite comes loose in the wind. I have already lost two.
Good, but with some flaws
So far it works well and the birds have disappeared (pigeons, magpies and blackbirds), but it had two breakdowns:
1st. The left end of the kite that holds its curved rod was unsewn and the kite fell. I fixed it by gluing it.
2nd. The hook of the telescopic bar that holds the nylon thread opened and the kite fell. I had to close it and reinforce it so that it does not happen again.
Effective
Effective when working alongside the BirdGard Pro sound repeller. The string gets tangled a lot.
Not very effective
The thread is always wound up
It works
It has been working very well for us so far. You have to be careful with strong wind as it can tangle or break the string
DISCREET
The problem is that when there is no adequate wind, the product is absolutely ineffective!
Response from BirdGard Iberia to the evaluation received
Thank you for your review of the Falcon Scarecrow and for sharing your experience.
We recommend a Bird Gard bird deterrent by sound.
Bird deterrents by sound are the most effective solutions for deterring birds in large open areas and when there are many birds.
Sincerely,
Customer Service - BirdGard Iberia
At first, good
In the first days it seemed to give good results, with the birds that moved away from the place not so with the small birds more daring, after changing it of place every four or five days it seems that they have taken a course at the university that they have returned and already they do not have fears,
Do you have any advice that could help me?
Greetings
excellent
Since the day I placed the Hawk Scarecrow among the fruit trees in my orchard, they have not touched the fruit again, it's cherries and loquats; the birds that normally ate the fruit are the starlings, sparrows and doves, its effectiveness has been total.
I don't have much experience with the Eolo Hawk Scarecrow yet, but it seems to meet expectations!
I'm using it to divert the flight of the starlings that pass over my terrace every night and leave droppings. I had to reinforce the ground attachment, and I'll probably add rubber rings to each element of the 7m telescoping bar to prevent it from partially closing, so the score I give is 4/5 instead of 5/5.
Good
I have used it to cover sunflower fields against bird attacks. It works very well in the distance that the manufacturer says it covers, however I would need something that covers more land.
Good
The rotating clip has broken, as it is of very poor quality. We believe that it would not be a problem to increase the quality of that material.
