thank you very much if anyone has ideas or experience.
No experience with ducks.

Basically,what we did with the local black birds was to pick up cheap
netting and string it up in their flight paths, aka the emergency exit
from our garden flight path. Then you frighten them a few times and they
decide elsewhere is safer and better.

I also have a supply of throwing sticks that I can whirr through the air.
No chance of me hitting them (lousy arm now), but they don't know that.

i have fun with that :-)

The problem with hanging Cd's is that many birds can quickly become
accustomed to them, but worth a try.

i was a bit concerned it would keep them ALL away though. even though i
haven't the first idea if it works on ANY of them, anyway!
thanks terry.

Its a good way to recycle CD's
Make sure they're lousy songs.
They would surely keep me away.
Actually, must go through my collection and see what I have that could
do the job...
Hanging the singers would also send a message, though I'm sure thats
illeagle thats a sick bird...
Throwing sticks? We used shanghais in my day. Couldnt miss.
Every kid would have one hanging out of his pocket.
Wouldn't have had this problem with Indian Mynas if they were still
allowed to have them, and the window people would have increased
business too.
