If someone can sell it for $100 they'd make some serious money. The birds are fouling my pool, and the plastic owl does nothing. Right now I'm thinking it should make a loud noise, or launch a tennis ball randomly. The best part is I can have it disarm if it sees a person.


My thought is just to rent it out for to rich folks with lawns for a few hundred bucks a week. My contraption will have thermal detection, AI target discrimination, and precision targeting with a laminar flow water stream. That’s the plan, anyways.
