Barn Owl three times life size copyright 2007 by Dave Putnam


This sculpture is designed to scare rats, pigeons, some domestic animals, and people with weak nerves. The giant owl swings overhead on an invisible wire; when the wind blows it swoops in on hapless victims visiting for the first time and gives them a scare. Frequent visitors are quickly aclimatized to the mobile sculpture. It is an open question whether rats become aclimatized.
