This life-size replica of an alligator head is what
every pond owner needs to keep geese, ducks and
fish-eating birds away. The rubber gator head
is wrapped around a floating frame that stays completely
on top of the water. Its mirror-backed eyes flash in the sun.
Can be free-floating or tethered. 25" long.

I'm skeptical it would work well even if it works at first. I've seen birds get used to things similar to this.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
