New Style Bird Scarer
 |
"The Peaceful Pyramid" was invented by Jane Lewis of Norfolk, England, who got tired of birds feeding on her 1,200 acres of feed grains and oilseeds and whose neighbors got annoyed with loud gas guns.
Lewis's reflecting 12-in. high pyramid rotates with a 12-volt motor and deflects light into the air in a way that confuses birds so that they lose their impulse to land and feed.
It comes with clear triangles as well as red (to repel crows).
Each pyramid protects 8 to 10 acres of low-growing crops and about 2 acres of taller crops. Battery keeps it spinning 8 to 10 weeks.
