We are nuts for anything solar, so how could I pass on this useful device, designed as an
"Environmentally-friendly deterrent that wards off fish-eating birds geese, herons, egrets, ducks and small animals without harm - day and night!"
Evidently the solar panel on its nose charges up internal batteries and when the sun goes down its eyes glow like a live gator. Does it work with Canada Geese? If so, fill the Great Lakes with them! ::Sundance Solar via ::Ubereview

I understand it is environmentally friendly due to its solar power, but how friendly is it to stop a bird from eating? They are "fish eating" birds. It's natural for them to eat the fish. Just what I thought of when I read this.
