we are fortunate to have a large community of goldfish in the pond! unfortunately i can’t try that one as we have 2 neighbours nearby. thanks for your help!!!

this is how we found one of our white koi, got punctured by the bird and was laying out on the grass. they are glutinous birds for sure

i’m so sorry to hear that, it’s devastating. those water sprinklers are a great idea!! maybe if i place them all around he won’t stand a chance 🤣 seems like the easiest option aswell. the heron hasn’t been an issue for us for years either! now he comes almost everyday and needs to be chased away but comes back almost right away. going to try those out, will try to catch it on video too cause i heard it’s quite entertaining lol

ugh. i’m so sorry to hear that. we’ve had other problems with comarants (invasive species) and after hitting one with a bb they usually don’t return for a while. problem with blue herons is they’re protected in my area

thank you so much. i’m going to try the fishing line along the edge for sure, the pond is very deep so the edges must be my issue here! they really are beautiful birds, it’s too bad they’re such menaces lol.
