Turn..up..the..RADIO!!

[Duckfarmer1]

Ok, remember that song from, the 80’s? That had lyrics that said...turn..up..the..radio!!! Well! It’s sooo true!! We have farming in my husband’s family, many generations. And a few months ago they came out to see the farm. This was right after we got the goats and pot belly pigs...and chickens. We were talking about predators because we had a coyote walk right down our pine tree line, which divide our fields,and it was about 20-30 ft from our ducks...and did nothing. My husband saw the whole thing from the other part of the yard. Anyway, we had crafted a funny sign on the ducks pen that says “no coyote “ On the door. So it started the discussion on predictors. My in-laws have used the radio for years...effectively, as a deterrent for predators. I am in no way saying this will prevent attacks, etc. completely. What I am saying is that, these animals hear the noise in my barn/coop, etc and think it’s people. They are staying away. Four four months I’ve had various styles of music...we want to see which coyotes hate most..rapp, classical, country, pop... But, I thought I would pass this on to to you all, to see if any of you might want to give it a try. It’s simple and it’s worked for us, plus I’ve even got to witness the real live chicken dance!! :

You want to really scare the animals away? Maybe even yourself and your family? Play some KPOP. Really Loud.
It's just the worst ever. You'll wish a coyote would take you away, it's just that bad.

Never heard of it. Guess I’m too old.

The gas station I go to, this lady who is nuts, plays it SO loud. She dances and hops around to it. She's like 55 years old. It's a real eyesore.
It's basically korean pop that's fast. Little kids listen to it. It WILL scare anything away for sure.

I've heard of people piping in talk radio, that works well too.

So old people shouldn't be dancing? You are only as old as you feel, the saying goes.

I don't like Kpop either, so annoying (And I'm not even old ) Try something that has more *talk* in it. That's actually a pretty smart Idea though, but I don't think It'd scare away the bobcats, my brothers girl friend talks to the bobcats

My vote is for the "Macarana" on and endless loop that could very be useful for your psyops!

Our hen house runs 80s rock from 8am until sunset. The barn runs NPR- only station I can get out there with the steel. I don't think that the predators care one bit. The radio is more for me.

I could see this working temporarily, but like anything else, I'd think the preds would eventually become acclimated to it
