Wanted Hawk "dummy" bird!
The message
from "EddySon" contains these words: I just wondered if anyone knows where I can purchase a dummy bird of prey. You should find a selection of owls, hawks etc at an oldfashioned hunting-shooting-fishing shop; try your local yellow pages to find one of those. Failing that, Crocketts of Glasgow sell them. They are old fashioned enough to oblige their customers in anyway they can :-) Janet |

"EddySon" wrote in message ... I just wondered if anyone knows where I can purchase a dummy bird of prey. I am a radio han and have a large aerial in the garden which unfortunatly has become the main meeting poin for loads of pidgeons. I was hoping that if I placed a dummy bird of prey on the top it might solve the problem. Thanks Ted Put a dummy aerial up |

First hit on google with +cd +aluminium +reflective http://www.disctronics.co.uk/technol.../rep_lines.htm The thing to note is the fact that the playing side has a thick layer of polycarbonate to protect the data. The label side a thin lacquer, thus the label side is much more sensitive to damage. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

You could try cutting out the shape of a flying hawk and suspending this
from a cord or wire...you will have to play around with cord and weights underneath to keep it level, but we had one of these years ago and it worked well keeping pigeons off a cabbage crop. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Actually some farmers fly hawk kites and these work very well. Initially I would recommend stick a couple of the child's windmills, you know the things they buy at the seaside. Light, cheap and very effective. Or some old CD's with a hole drilled on one edge and suspended with string. which have zero effect. |

I think you can just use a silohette, doesn't need to be a 3D, full colour 3D model. Would you hang about if you saw what you thought was the shape of a tiger in the bushes? In the UK? They might get used to it over time though, so you may need to keep moving it. Windmills might be better, nice shiny ones that catch the light. Freebie AOL/Freeserve CDs hung around may work as well. CDs have zero effect. |
