Recommended only if your Tempest sensor device is frequently visited by perching birds. Only a small percentage of owners might need to mitigate a perching bird. A bird deterrent is only recommended if you are absolutely certain the installation is consistently and frequently visited by perching birds.
Easily attaches to the head of a Tempest or SKY sensor device.
Helps to deter most birds from perching on the device which could cause false rain readings or fouling.

Attached with out difficulty. And does what it says.
TBD. I purchased, but have not installed, this device as insurance in case birds take a liking to my weather station. There are two other perch points (post and light) nearby so maybe I'll get lucky and birds will continue to perch there instead. Tempest recommends only installing if really needed. The design looks good although I wonder about the lifetime of the elastic and the potential of the points to retain snow load. A thoughtful and affordable design compromise of many factors.
Too soon to tell.
The top of the weather station is basically an open invitation to any and all birds in your neighborhood. This bird deterrent is absolutely a requirement to keep them from landing on it, and so far it does exactly that. It’s easy to install and feels secure once it’s on. It’s such a must-have I think they should bundle it with the weather station.
This is my 4th one to purchase. They work great as advertised and is a must in the pasture where the birds are thick. Only small issue is the plastic base that stretches around the Tempest loses its elasticity after about 8-12 months and it will slip. When that happens your wind readings are invalid.
