IMO, the best thing is to have the protection in place before the heron
comes to dine. A free meal once and the beggar will try harder regardless
of the locks on the door. (Or some such saying as that. ;o) ~ jan

Heres a few notes collected from observations and other folks

When I plant strawberries I also plant some red stones. Birds peck atthe
stones, learn the error of their ways and don't come back for
thestrawberries... hopefully. I wonder if a concrete koi, placed at an
easy to get to area, would
tempt a heron. A few strikes at that could discourage a heron and might even
teach the other koi to run and hide

I tried both....neither worked Jerri
