Wink owl guarding my expy

I know this is going to sound really strange but...
i work in an area where birds (poop) are a problem--lots of overhead power lines, grain from the railcars that pass behind our warehouse and fast food resturants seem to attract them.
i found a life sized plastic owl at a garage sale and perched him on a fence post close to where i park. i've noticed if i move him every few days and don't get him too far from my expy i have almost eliminated the bulls eye it had on it's hood. who would have guessed.

Then you would be trading bird poop for OWL POOP.

Owls eat cat?

If owls eat cats, "I gotta get me one!"

My neighborhood has too many cats.
