I have an unsettling feeling this may be a new poop thread.
MORE POOP threads!

but yes, the owls are to discourage birds from nesting in the pergolas and eves of the buildings. I have seen them in peoples yards too.

My mother used to have a sparrow who insisted on starting a nest right next to her front door in the light fixture. She put up a plastic owl, and it worked!
