get rid of heron
Hi everybody,
Does anybody know the best way to get rid or to prevent Heron coming and fishing in my pond. Is there an easy electronic system available on the market or any good wiring system , but not the net I'm using now. Thanks in advance for reply. |

get rid of heron
We've done several things to keep those buggers away!!
It's an horrid feeling when your pond's been "violated" by those thieving murderers...and often it's a combination of things rather than only one trick. First, remember you're smarter than the bird, so you have to learn how he thinks....good thing birds don't have the internet yet..lol Herons are usually solo feeders and not too keen on dinner companions . Putting out a "decoy" of another bird often discourages them from coming around. A waterbird statue or even one of those funky plastic flamingos....a bit of craft paing and you can make it look like aged bronze.. Hang a round ball in a bright colour over the pond...with a black circle on it...The bird sees it as a big huge eye of an unfamiliar preditor and gets scared. (old japanese koi farmer at a local country market told me that one) I adapted that one to my own aesthetics and hung a mirrorerd disco ball and the little bright reflections seem to confuse them enough to keep them away. The birds will not land in the water, but prefer to wade into it, A wire or some obstacle to that interfers with that can help. They do have commercially available motion detectors for ponds that sound an alarm or shoot a jet of water when they're disturbed..a websearch on google can help there. They also are wary of anyting that's waving or moving around the pond...ie: windsock, twirler, windchimes, etc... Good luck, and would love to hear the outcome.. "user" wrote in message ...

get rid of heron
We had the problem as well as having a Kingfisher using our pond for an easy
feeding ground. Solved the problem by buying a Heron statue and placing it next to the pond. The thing to remember is to move it slightly every few days making the others think it's real. |
