I just want to scare some invasive birds...Do these sound like a real round of fire..?

There is no powder or primer, therefore no sound with these dummy rounds. They are simply a safe way to practice reloading your revolver.

these do not fire they are for dry firing only to protect the firing pin and practice, there is no real cap or powder, the center cap is made of plastic

a-zoom rounds are not blanks, make no noise. they are for practice trigger pull without damaging firing pins. you wont scare birds with noise after a few times anyway.
1374026
No, they do not make any noise. When you squeeze the trigger with snap caps, it sounds the same as dry firing.

NO! These are dummy rounds to dry fire your firearm. They make NO sound. Great for practice in aiming and trigger control. Great for familiarizing yourself with the pressure needed to fire your gun. All you hear is the sound of your firing pin of your firearm hitting the center of the dummy round. You may want to look for BLANKS for scaring birds & such. Clapping loudly works to scare birds. They think it is gunfire. Try it...or firecrackers. Good Luck.

It makes a little noise.. High pitched but nothing thats overwhelming... Older people won't hear it as much as teenagers. One of my neighbors jokingly wanted to get one to keep the kids off his lawn. I wouldn't put it at ground level on a patio, but if you put on the roof over the patio, it should be fine.. I can also say this.. I live in South San Francisco next to a cemetery where pigeons are fed by the public.. My repeller fell off my roof during a storm last winter but it such a good job of scaring away the birds that they haven't returned..

Our neighbor has these and they are obnoxious! My parents don't hear them as well because it is a higher pitch and the older lady that has them assures us that there is NO noise, but I beg to differ. You cannot hear them inside our house, but as soon as I step outside (even if I'm on the other side of our yard) I can hear them. They also drive the dogs nuts causing them to bark every time they hear it!

Loud, they are not. And they rattle more than ring. Had the same idea of stringing together and hanging on a fence as a sort of alarm when the gate was opened. They might let you know the puppy was at the fence but I don't see them being noisy enough to scare the puppy back.

I only have cardinals, bluejays, nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers, indigo buntings, rose breasted grosbeaks, red and yellow finches, mourning doves, bluebirds, and hummingbirds coming here in Western PA. I use mixed, shelled cardinal food from the hardware store and they all love it. I also feed thistle and a seed that looks a lot like trail mix in my other feeders. We also have owls, whippoorwill, hawks, etc. We live in the PA WILDS region of the state.Penn State has a blackbird problem and they use what sounds like percussion bombs to scare them off. Good Luck.

I don't know... I can't get anyone to let me test it on them. Just the sound and how loud it is scares them.

This pistol will not kill any squirrel I have ever seen and it is not very noisy. It is unlikely that it would kill a bird either (unless it was the most unlucky bird ever). I think they would come back when you are not there shooting at them though. Plus a pistol requires a lot of skill to actually make consistent hits. If you want to use airsoft for this an AEG would be a better choice. I still think they will come back anyway.

I put a couple in a small barn for bat control only and it worked great for the first year, so we will see about this year... I use to get a few birds flying into the barn, but since you asked, I realized they are not there anymore. Great!! I was concentrating on Bats, so if you want birds to stay, I am not sure it would work, but if you can call the supplier, they are very helpful. Good Luck Duane Mitch

I wouldn't cut them. The spikes keep the birds from nesting. Otherwise, there is no deterent if cut.

I personally haven't experienced emus trying to infiltrate my house through my roof, but I would suspect not. If they can tear through your roof, they can probably get through this stuff too. I'd develop a more effective defense against these wild birds if I was you... Wait, you are talking about the large flightless bird are you not?

It doesn't work period. NOTHING is afraid of it. Deer and birds eat my entire garden while it makes its worthless noise. I just threw it away in my garbage after 6 months of NOTHING. Send me the shipping, I'll dig mine out of the garbage and send it to you.

The motion will and maybe the noise will as well. I know when I check my IZON looking out my back window facing my shed, I can hear the birds outside. You can set the intensity of the noise to where it would start recording. I love it. I hope this helped.

My neighbor has one of these on his balcony. It beeps every few minutes. It reminds me of a smoke alarm needing batteries, except it sounds like a bird chirping. I'm not sure how that is supposed to deter birds.

Not sure I think it depends on the bird your trying to scare. I am using mine on woodpeckers. The owl did nothing! The metallic tape works the best!

Yes! The noise this Sentinel makes will scare off animals! Place it where the plants are, pointing it forward to detect any animals.
1663126
No. They must be in a place where the air can flow through it to create the sound to which the animalsrespond. I put mine on the front bumper of my truck and on the bottom of the grill of my car.

I wouldn't, plus at beyond a resting respiratory rate they are very noisy as air moves through.
