Customers Say
The hawk kite effectively deters some birds like pigeons and crows, but many users report issues with build quality, assembly difficulties, and limited effectiveness in high winds.

Missing components
A couple of GRP rods were missing from package when opened; contacted trader named on box direct who advised that they don’t supply replacement parts and to return it to Argos for refund/exchange; couldn’t locate receipt so sourced rods myself

Spot on
Bought this to keep pigeons of my fruit trees..and it does that well

Satisfied.
Easy to assemble and has made a significant reduction in the amount of pigeons and starlings that come into the garden, I have high fences which tends to restrict the amount of wind the catches the kite, so the kite was calm for periods which is when the birds get a bit brave, so I have increased to height of the kite by fixing and extending the pole from the side of my shed, making it more active. very basic but has made a difference and for me was worth the spend. Needs a clear radius (approx.3m) to avoid snags on washing lines etc.

Just as advertised
The kit includes everything you need to get the hawk flying and plants protected, with no need for chemicals.

Did the job, but broke after 2 days
Scared off the pigeons but thin pole popped through material which stopped its flight, it’s not built to last but at the end of the day it’s a kite, so returned it.

Hawk kite pest deterrent
Absolutely brilliant I had trouble with foxes digging holes in my lawn and crows and magpies pooing everywhere thankfully it’s all stoped Thank to the hawk kite

Fantastic flyer!
Bought this a week ago, well worth the money! Extremely efficient bird scarer, no more pigeons. Even with a slight breeze, the kite flies. Easy to assemble.

Good quality, not sure of effectiveness
Bought this to try and deter the seagulls on my roof. It seems they got a bit agitated initially when I first set it up in the garden. But I think they soon realised there was no danger. Also, the kite string keeps getting tangled around the pole. I think if I was able to affix it higher up nearer the roof line, it could potentially have more of an effect. Will try setting it up again next year when the seagulls start coming back and see if it can dissuade them from nesting on my roof!

Hawk kite
I read a lot of negative reviews about this kite, can't stand strong winds, pole snapping. I live in the High Highlands of Scotland, in wide open countryside and I have had my hawk kite flying in 50 to 60mph winds, no problem.

Hello Kaybee.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Defenders Hawk Bird Scaring Kite:
We have never encountered this questions before so are unable to state how effective it would or wouldn’t be.
It can however be attached using the same process as if putting in the garden
Thank you for using Q & A.

Thank you for using Q&A
Hi There
Defenders Hawk Bird Scaring Kite
Having checked I can see this comes with 4 metre telescopic fibreglass pole and all attachments needed so this kite can fly and swoop. It is not able to fly freely.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Topcat,
The fibreglass pole comes in sections and you can reduce the length by not assembling all pieces.
However the Defenders Hawk Bird Scaring Kite optimum height for effectiveness is 4 metres.
Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Won't scare anything, mine snapped within 8 hours, just like the pictures posted by someone else, it wasn't even that windy the kite spent most of that time hanging lifelessley. Not fit for purpose.
Hi Steff
Yes. The Defenders Hawk Bird Scaring Kite will scare all birds smaller than it. There is nothing I can recommend that will scare only the pigeons.
Thanks for using Argos Q&A
