Hes a lovely Owl Zigs - but couldn't have one here, as we get plenty of real ones and I wouldn't want to scare them away, as I love listening to all the different calls they make

Don't have the neighbor problem
but do have the same problem in terms of trying to keep the birds off my fruit, have tried just about everything on the market, even resorted to buying some stockings this year
to put on my grapes, because the birds where actually cheeky enough to eat the grapes, whilst I was picking them, made me
You asked about the Amazon products and if anyone had found any that actually worked. There is one that actually does- but am not sure that your neighbors will like it.
Bird-X Irri Tape - is a holographic iridescent tape - which works apparently, by the birds becoming disorientated and confused by the shimmer of the holographic iridescent material, and when the wind blows, it makes a noise, that is not only threatening, but irritating to birds
Wasn't easy to tell if they were irritable and disorientated, but it was very effective and the birds really didn't seem to like it,so long as there was a slight breeze.
The only other things I can think of which do work, neither of which I doubt your neighbors would like, is the paper fruit bags or as a last resort using a shotgun.
