The Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy is a full-size, feathered effigy designed to deter vultures, buzzards, and other birds of prey by triggering their natural instinct to avoid sickness, death, and danger.

Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy - Raptor Deterrent 18" tall
A Natural Signal to Keep Raptors Away
Vultures and turkey buzzards are highly observant birds that instinctively avoid the sight of one of their own in distress or death. The Dead Vulture Bird Scare Decoy takes advantage of this natural behavior to provide an effective, humane solution for managing bird activity around towers, rooftops, and vulnerable infrastructure.
At 18 inches tall, this decoy is crafted with real feathers and moveable, wire-supported feet for maximum realism and versatility. When positioned properly, it creates the illusion of a freshly fallen or diseased bird—sending a strong “do not enter” message to others in the area.
