We have it out in the yard hang from a tall tree, for nice movement, the birds don't care if it's there, they sit on branches above it, and pass bye it without hesitation. We do not feed birds, enough natural things for them, the woodpecker is still banging on my gutters. So the only bills that have left are from my wallet. The balloon still flies, it has an entertainment value, for everyone that has visited our patio.
