Hans,

I'll bet it can, hi,hi.  

I'll tell you one thing they sure don't scare the birds away.
I bought one from HRO and put it on the very top of the mast on my tower.  I 
didn't notice any decrease in the birds.
After about six months I was up on the tower doing some antenna work and 
climbed up to check on the owl.
The birds didn't give my owl any respect, he was covered with bird s### , hi,hi.
