I have half a dozen of that exact model of sprinkler. I only have them running at night for deer. The detection doesn’t seem sensitive enough for small birds, but they do list birds… I wonder if they only mean bigger birds? Reading the questions and reviews it seems like it didn’t work for someones blueberries, but someone else said it fired for birds for them. It might be worth a try at least, especially because I already have a bunch of them!
