OMG these are absolutely marvelous!!! I want one just to freak out my neighbors (and possibly the dog). We've often talked about putting something on the roof to make the neighbors talk but usually we're talking green plastic alien. But they don't even have glowing eyes!!!

Hah! Well, yanno.. 'Locusts (properly roasted) and Wild Honey' isn't too shabby of a Meal, really..  

I just see it as a low-impact / cost way to - 'on demand' - hopefully spook them into 'associating' that spot with the Owl-terrors - especially after a 'couple cycles' of interactions. Hopefully, that 're-education program' will groom them to at least consider Other people's carports, instead.  That's the Theory, anyway..

Haha! Well, I'm sure everyone here would 'pitch in' to post Bail for ya..

But, kidding aside, the Other nice feature is you Can turn off just the Sound, so.. Motion-Detection / Flashing eyes / Head-movement is still active - just no sound to piss off the 'hood (If it comes to that..

Worst case, you could fill these with 500 Firecrackers each and re-route the DC-leads going to the internal Speaker - to a small 'e-Match', nestled into the first 'Crackers fuse, internally - That should take care of the Cats 're-education'.

Not that I would have a Clue about Doing anything like that, mind you...
