This product can emit three different sounds, to trick birds into thinking they are in danger. The sound of a barking dog (setting A), may frighten birds that land in your garden. It can also deter casual intruders, particularly if they activate it by triggering the motion sensor. The hawk sound is most effective to scare off small birds that may be attacked by a hawk. The third sound is a starling in distress. This tricks birds into thinking that another bird is being attacked. Because the identity of the attacker is not revealed, each bird will associate this sound with whatever natural predator they fear the most. By regularly changing the sound setting, birds do not get a chance to become over­familiar with one sound, which lessens the possibility that they will eventually ignore the sounds. As with all products designed to repel wild animals, actual results can never be predicted with 100% accuracy.
