My mother use to put fake snakes and owls in her gardens and move them from time to time. One year we bought her an owl that had some type of a microchip inside. When the wind would blow the owl would spin and make an awful screeching sound. It would scare the birds and everyone had fun watching the spinning owl that sounded like an attacking hawk. Not sure it would be a welcome addition to a garden in The Villages, but it did work.
