Default ffs, it never ends.... duck invasion

hello.
having now fenced off the veggie garden from the wallabies, we are now
benighted by pairs of wild ducks on the prowl. they enjoy chinese vegetables
and mizuna. isn't that nice?!

wondering if anyone has had successful anti-duck experience. are they afraid
of scarecrows, old cds tied above the crops & flashing in the sun, or any of
those types of methods?


One pair? I have up to 40 wood ducks at a time strutting up and down the
paddock and into the garden. So far they haven't done any damage.

As for what to do - get a Kelpie. The one that I have knows that ducks are
OK but commorants (fish thieves) are not. You could easily tell him ducks are
not welcome and commorants are OK.
