So Living in the middle of nowhere with 3 acres to do with as I please I decided to do what I've wanted for so long, keep some birds. so I got 2 muscovy ducks and three ring neck pheasants, I was warned by all the neighbours that nobody keeps chickens and the like because of bears, cougars, racoons, otters and the roaming neighbourhood dogs. Turns out my problem is a pair of ravens, dam big ravens too, they got 3 duckling and an old duck who couldn't get away fast enough. Dam bird sits there and plucks feathers out of my duckies! I'm netting the whole pen this weekend to keep them at bay and hope that will be the end of it but I hate how its the raven as I love ravens, I was so happy to see the pair when I moved in and now every time I hear them coming I can't help but sit with the duckies until I know their safe.
I don't want to try and hurt the raven or anything but trying to think what else I can do to scare off a raven that's bigger then my muscovy ducks, Would having a large goose bodyguard help?
I really enjoy letting the birds out of the pen to forage the yard but I can't pen in and net my whole yard, its frustrating.
