You can purchase light weight telescoping fiberglass poles (about 25') with
a kite that looks like a bird of prey.  The kite bobs, swirls and dives.
Quite an entertaining display.

They work quite well keeping the birds and squirrels away from our fruit
trees.  They are also popular along Sunset Drive in Pacific Grove to deal
with the seagulls.
