Yesterday I talked to a guy at the farmers market who said great blue herons were killing his KOI. He said since herons were territorial he put a heron statue in his KOI pond and hasn't had any problems since. I am going to order a "Flambeau Great Blue Heron decoy" and see if it works. I am going to move it to a different spot on the pond every few days, supposedly this makes it a more effective deterrent.

I found a few other possible GBH deterrents on line that might work as well but I'll start with the GBH decoy. My current GBH visitor appears to be a fairly young bird. I have no idea how well these other deterrents might work or if these can be found cheaper elsewhere. http://shop.tjb-inc.com/alligator-decoys-c151.aspx
