A note from the guy building this

A hawk hasn't touched my flock in 18+ months. Here's what changed.

I'm Steve, an engineer with a small flock. The device I invented to keep hawks away is still going strong. I'd love your feedback before I produce more.

Why I built this

I was losing a hen every other week.

Hawks used to hit my yard constantly: attacks every couple of weeks, close calls almost daily. Decoys and tricks didn't last.

So I built a small device that watches the sky and kicks on a Skydancer for thirty seconds whenever something enters the airspace.

From the moment I installed it, no attacks. Hawks still pass by, but the large, random movement signals danger, and they move on.

This changed everything.

How it works

Mount it. Plug it in. Connect the Skydancer. Relax.

Radar watches the airspace.

It's been through two winters, plenty of storms, and a lot of heat. Doesn't matter. It just works.

Something enters, your Skydancer fires for thirty seconds.

The sudden, oversized motion reads as a threat, long enough to break an approach, short enough not to run constantly.

Hawks move on.

They learn this airspace never works out, so they stop trying and hunt somewhere else.

No worries about spamming, I'll manually write an email noting you thought there could be interest.

"I built this because I was tired of running outside every time I saw a hawk fly low, or finding feathers in the yard. I lost so many hens, and the survivors were so scared they didn't venture out of the coop for days. It's kept my flock safe, and I think it could do the same for other people. If you made it this far, I applaud you!" Steve, Guardihen
