This heron came to visit my koi fish pond every year to prey on my koi fish. It took in over 200 of my koi fish in the past 2 years. I need a way to take it down.

  • Did you MOVE the decoy on a daily basis? Having a decoy in the same place 24/7 would cause a heron to figure out it's a fake...

  • @AnimalExpert1000 Then consider yourself lucky. Heron has spared you. 

  • @AnimalExpert1000 I believe you will find your pots and pans in mess.

  • @TheWrathMovies I believe you need some therapy.

  • Here's your answer.BB gun.

  • @mmmmmarcus Oh I know....this happened a few years ago, and I knew to be careful....I tried every other means first. Didn't want to do it, but had to. This pissa is, there's marshland all around me, so go figure.....

  • @beebo02 Be careful, in america, shooting any egrets is a federal offense. Due to the migratory bird treaty act, you can face a harsh jail term for even touching an egret feather. I shit you not!

  • Netting a few inches over the water should work to show the bird that it's no longer a buffet. Most give up after a couple of days. The decoys usually work, but not during mating season (March/April), and not if left in the same place.

  • Trying to pretend he´s a fake bird himself lol

  • nothing my pellet gun hasn't taken care of before
