Lawn Ornaments/Cranes, Herons
 
Trying to find a natural looking crane or heron lawn ornament to put by my
new pond. Can someone tell me where such an item might be available?
thanks.

Why a chimney flue in the bottom of the pond.

Tips for herons, egrets and other fishing birds:
- netting over the pond
- chimney flue in the bottom of the pond
- put in an electric fido shock fence
- a motion activated sprinkler
- Migratory Bird Act forbids lethal methods,
heavy fines and jail time take away from pond time ;-)

good luck!

it gives the fish a place to hide, where the heron can't get them.

Ow, now I need a cave in the middle of the pond. At this rate, I won't
be done till next year.

You don't want to get done, if you do then you have to start another
pond, bigger this time.

Just outside a fish hatchery near here there are trees FULL of egrets
and herons, probably 75 to 100 of them. They don't seem to mind at
all.

===========================
Don't bother as they don't work. Most of our fish refused to enter these
flues. The bird waits patiently until the fish forget it's there then
snatches them up as they leave the flue. Nets work 100% of the time.

and keep the net up off the pond, but draped down and attached. herons walk just fine
and they WILL walk under the net if they can. they will come down into the pond
(they swim just fine) and fish thru the net if they can. herons make their living
out of finding fish. you cannot hide fish from a heron unless it is inside. Ingrid
