A Disappointment

By megahaunt from DC area on 10/30/2007

Cons:

Deteriorates/Rots, Eyes blink too fast

Best Uses:

Indoor use

Describe Yourself:

Supermom

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

The crows' eyes flash on and off far too fast to be natural -- think strobe light instead of a blink. There was no way to turn off the flashing feature, so I wound up taking them out of my graveyard, as the effect was not satisfactory. When they got rained on, they were pretty much ruined anyway. They will be given away to whichever of my friends wants them.

These really haven't held up to the weather and they were too large to fit on top of the tombstones I also purchased. I wouldn't purchase again

Dissappointing..

By Kara from Fort Lauderdale, FL on 10/24/2007

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy to Secure

Cons:

Battery holder flimsy, Difficult Set-up, No tail feathers, Wires horribly tangled

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

I was a little surprised that these crows had no tail feathers. On looking back at the item photo, they don't show them with tail feathers. So don't expect them. I will be hot gluing tail feathers in[...] I was worried about damaging the electronics because they were wrapped around the battery holder edges and it required a lot of force to remove. The 2nd crow was slightly easier to work with.

Poor quality

By Angela

from New Orleans, LA on 10/22/2007

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

These crows are cheaply made. First, there are spots that are missing feathers. Second, the left and right eyes do not blink in sync with each other. One of my birds looks more like a caution light. The other bird's eyes are more in sync. It still looks funny, but not as bad. And lastly, these birds are easily damaged. I accidentally dropped one from a height of only 1 foot and the beak broke off. I had to fix it with some glue.

No Instructions included

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

I wanted to use these in a graveyard setting for Halloween. I opened the box and thre were no instructions included as to what size batteried to use, how to install or how to turn the eyes on. I have made various attempts to get the eyes to glow but either I am doing it incorrectly or they are defective. Without directions it's hard to tell which.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

Nice design, but the eyes didn't light up on either crow. Now I have to exchange. Disappointed in the quality, but they look good.

scarey crows only need a corn stock

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

The friend I gave these to as a gift loves the crows! They have a [I think] permanant home in her dining room. The eyes lighting up are great and already have her grandchildren in a Halloween mood! But they always are!
I do feel they belong inside or a protected area and will be a spooktacular addition to trick or treating!

Night Crows -- Boooooh Fun

By Desert Kat

from Scottsdale, AZ on 9/15/2007

Pros:

Easy to Secure, Halloween Spooky, Visible at a Distance

Best Uses:

Art Projects, Garden, Inside Decor, Porch

Describe Yourself:

Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish, Unique item shopper

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Giant Crows with Light-Up Eyes:

Great Halloween fun. These crows go nicely with the baby crows. Love the light up eyes; very effective. Both birds show well at night. Creepy! Use indoors or outdoors, where they will be protected by harsh weather conditions. Both crows show well atop a lamp, fireplace, mirror, etc. Halloween should be fun & ghoulish! Throw in some crows to attract the Halloweeners! Big and small alike will enjoy theses crows.

described as a outdoor decoration. Looks like it is made from papier-mâché. This item will turn to papier-mush after a little rain.
