Very true. I don't think there is any use trying to out smart them or "out patience" them. The only way to go is barriers.
Too bad you can't pellet train wading birds like you can turtles. I would much prefer them eating my feed than my fish. I did have a common grackle that was pellet trained. It was comical watching him wade in after the pellets and tiptoeing to keep his feathers dry.
