Flock Free Seagull Effigy is a realistic, chemical-free visual bird deterrent designed to discourage seagulls from landing, gathering, and loafing around docks, boats, pools, rooftops, restaurants, dumpsters, and other problem areas. A Visual Warning Seagulls Understand Seagulls are intelligent, highly social birds that constantly observe their surroundings and the behavior of other gulls for signs of food and danger. The Flock Free Seagull Effigy takes advantage of this natural behavior by creating the realistic appearance of a dead gull. To gulls, the presence of an apparently dead bird of their own species works as a visual danger signal, telling them to avoid the area and look for a safer place. Its realistic shape and coloration create an immediate visual warning. The lightweight construction allows the effigy to move with a breeze, helping reinforce the effect. Why? - Realistic dead-seagull appearance – creates a visual danger signal that approaching gulls can recognize. - Humane seagull deterrent – helps discourage nuisance gulls without harming them. - Natural movement – lightweight “wings” respond to wind, helping make the effigy more noticeable and realistic. - Easy to use – simply position or hang it where gulls regularly land and feed. - Weather-resistant – designed for outdoor applications. - Residential and commercial applications – ideal for waterfront homes, docks, piers, boats, pools, patios, rooftops, hotels, restaurants, parking areas, warehouses, and dumpsters. - Proudly designed and made in the United States by our family-owned and operated company. Smart Bird Control Strategy: Visual + Consequence Seagulls are smart and adaptable. Like most visual bird deterrents, an effigy may become less effective if birds see it in the same place for an extended period and learn that it doesn’t create actual danger for them. For better results, periodically change the position or location of the Seagull Effigy and use it as part of a broader bird-control strategy. A Seagull Effigy may work successfully as a stand-alone deterrent. However, if you need to add more pressure, we recommend combining the effigy with Flock Free Bird Repellent, Surface Pro Tack and UV-paint, and/or installing seagull wiring. The goal is to create an unpleasant environment for birds and teach them to stay away with visual confirmation. Using several different deterrent methods and visual signals together makes your area unattractive to intelligent birds, and they gradually start preferring to stay away and go somewhere else. Not in my yard, birdies! Make Your Property Look Like the Wrong Place to Land If seagulls are leaving droppings on your dock, gathering around your pool, taking over a rooftop, bothering guests, or tearing into garbage around dumpsters – the Flock Free Seagull Effigy is a good way to make the area appear less inviting, decrease the gull population, and make them leave you alone.
