Thanks for your help!! ============== We had so many predators we finally netted our ponds. Nothing else worked. We haven't lost one fish to snakes, frogs, herons etc. since the netting. -- Carol..... I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. º¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤º ~*~ ~*~ º¤º°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤º ~*~ ~*~ |

om... "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ... "cyestyear" wrote in message om... I have this nasty hawk who keeps eating my koi and goldfish. Any suggestions on how to keep him or her away from the pond? Thanks for your help!! I have seen some local restaurants use the following technique to control birds flying overhead. They string fishing line between the surrounding trees and the buildings, usually about 15-20 feet high. If they don't have any suitable trees they use 20 foot poles, they don't have to be very thick as there is next to no load. They use fairly heavy line, so the birds can see it, but it fine enough that people don't notice it. It might work against hawks, might even work for herons. |
