how to stop attacks

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Hi guys, I was wondering if you have any tips on how to stop the local native birds attacking my ducklings when I take them for walks in my yard. Id really hate to have to keep them locked up but the attacks are quiet scary for me and my babies.

What kind of birds? Hanging pie plates or cd's can sometimes help to deter hawks.

magies and blue faced honey eaters, the hawks used to kill my chooks but they dont seem to like my ducks.

Wondering if there is some kind of portable scarecrow that might help.  Such a tough situation!

 

I have used netting above play areas to discourage harassment from above.

Looking for ducks?  Please consider adopting rescued ducks.  There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs.  So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.
