Bird cannon?

 

[homebrewnewb]

duck ***** itself as it flys off, defeats purpose.
sucks to be the neighbour of the cannon

 

[good4whatAlesU]

I was jesting : )

Bird cannons would be illegal in a residential area.

12 gauge shoty with solids

All fine suggestions.
I intend to cover all bases by soaking a drunk Labrador in Coyote piss, tying a rubber snake round it and firing it from a cannon.

 

[homebrewnewb]

Monty Python did it first though.

Cheap pool cover with a roller on my pool. Never had an issue with them and there's plenty of them around.

You need the pigs from footrot flats .

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

mmmm Peking Duck

 

[GrumpyPaul]

We have the same problem...Mrs Grumpy thinks its cute. (she doesnt have to clean the pool)

There is a product called Duck Off - I havent tried it but the pool shop guy reckons it keeps them away.

Not sure what chemical it would be - but apparently its harmless to us but the ducks hate it in the water

 

[homebrewnewb]

Duck Off aka Coyote piss.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Anyone got a pet coyote us pool owners can borrow

 

[Grott]

As they say -"If you can't beat them, join them." Mmmmm no don't. That would me pissing and crapping in your own pool.

I bought one of those Bunnings hawks to scare off Noisy Miners that attacked their own reflections in a glass door from dawn til dusk.

The Bunnings hawk was useless and became more of a launch pad than a deterrent.

We hung some shiny metallic spiral thing that glistens in the sun and twists with the wind. The farking Miners **** themselves and haven't been back.

It doesn't seem to have the same effect on pigeons though.

Worth a try with ducks.

Got to be a solution that ends with you eating the ducks.

I wasted $30 on Rubber snakes. They don't work! curse those numbskulls who post such rubbish advice on a google search.
The shiny flickery tapes and such do work. Although relentless pilfering black birds may get used to them after a while.
Birds are so skittish so the shiny stuff in a breeze throws off changing light and shadows that startle them off.

Holy god.

Nerdy diy gun building weirdo. And I live in a suburb of weirdos.
