Crazy idea for predator deterrent

[Yardfulla poopers]

So I saw a bunch of things like this at the Halloween store and am wondering if anyone has ever tried it to deter predators. I am really considering one.
I just set up several motion detector lights and I have some Nite Guard lights on the way to set up a full perimeter. I thought an animatronic monster might help even more. But it might also scare the birds out of laying. I just get to laughing every time I think about having one in my yard though!
Maybe I'll just try a radio...

Omg, is that like one of the halloween decorations that lights up and roars or something when something walks by? That is an awesome idea!

It is. We could call it yard art
There's even a scarecrow one for the garden.

That might work. We lost power for a week once because of a hurricane. I have electric wires going around my coops and pens. Since the power was out I used a battery operated radio and put it on a talk radio station so the predator would hear voices mainly at night. I was lucky and had no incidences during that time. I do have several cameras on my property and still saw some predators. One BYC member put a tube man next to her coop. I guess it worked well. She posted a picture but I can't find it. I've tried many things over the years. Good luck...

That is a fabulous idea! Even Santa Claus would mimic someone in the yard.
As long as you can get used to it going off at night & it doesnt give your kids nightmares.... This is an idea to copy totally!!!!

I looked into the tube man too. I might just end up having the craziest yard decor ever, between the coop, the pond, orchard and garden.
