Floating alligator decoy - 06/23/10 04:30 PM
(Sorry if this is in the wrong section. ??)
A few years ago, I interviewed someone in the Air Force about bird strikes, which obviously are detrimental to planes.
He said that at his location, they had achieved some success keeping ducks and geese off area ponds by using a floating alligator decoy because the birds think it's a real alligator.
Never mind that they don't have alligators in Kansas...the birds don't know that!
I'm curious if anyone here has tried something like this to deter herons or other birds. I'm considering trying one just to see if it works.
Here is a link to one I found online. I'm sure there are many others. Floating alligator decoy
