Bird cannon?

 

[homebrewnewb]

duck shits 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 shit 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.
