I got ducks. The complex where I live has these fish ponds which attract
wild ducks, so naturally people feel compelled to feed them. It's so bad
that on some of the sidewalks near the ponds, you can't tell the
concrete from the poop. The ducks are so brazen now that when you open
your door in the morning they come running over looking for a handout.
Of course they poop as they run along and now my walkway is covered with
duck crap. It's a mess. I need some kind of critter that likes to eat
ducks

Oh, ick. One of my neighbor's cats tried to attack a pair of mallards that
were on the sidewalk - without success, I might add. They were about the
same size as the cat :)
At least for me, as long as I avoid going to the park, I don't have to worry
about constantly stepping in goose crap. My mother recently chased a flock
of wild turkeys out of her yard. When I asked her why she did this (as I
thought the idea of them hanging out where was pretty cool), she responded
"They're as bad as those geese. I don't need turkey poop all over my yard!"

Sometimes the ducks breed. Apparently a neighbor's cat got the stuffing
kicked out of it by a mother duck when it attempted to go after one of
the ducklings. All I heard was Meowrrrr! Quack! Quack!. I looked out and
saw the ducklings all excited swimming around in the pond, the duck with
her head lowered and wings outstretched in an obviously aggressive
posture, the cat a few yards away with its back to the duck licking its
paw, looking like cats do when they have just done something very stupid
but want to look cool anyway.

We suffer from sea gulls.
All the blithering idiots, coming out to the coast, for holidays, Ooooing and
Aaaahing at the "pretty birds", mostly Herring Gulls, and then feeding the damn
Shite Hawks, encouraging them to come and take food from their hands.
They got so bold, that they were attacking children, to steal ice creams, hot
dogs, burgers, chips(french fries)or anything else that looked eatable.
Folks tend to forget that although they are generally considered omnivorous
scavengers, gulls are also predators, and that beak that can hold a fish, near
half the size of the bird, can also remove a child's finger, or inflict a nasty
cut.
There are now notices all around the Devon and Cornwall coast, warning against
feeding the gulls, but Londoners, who have stood in Hyde Park, and fed the
sparrows, seem to think they know better.
So we still have a problem, during the season.

The folks next-door keep ducks, and chickens, which means delicious eggs !

sparrows, seem to think they know better.
So we still have a problem, during the season.
In the next few months there'll be a couple of Herons around, well they
usually turn up, about 7
in the morning trying to eat the fish in our pond....bloody scary
looking birds !
When you try to scare them away, they just look at you as if to say,
'Who the ***** are you ?'
Then just kinda fly away in their own good time....bloody magnificent
creatures.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-

In my neck of the woods, it's those frickin' Canadian geese! Impossible
to
walk around a park when those things are hanging out there - Goose poop
mine
field :P
I got ducks. The complex where I live has these fish ponds which attract
wild ducks, so naturally people feel compelled to feed them. It's so bad
that on some of the sidewalks near the ponds, you can't tell the
concrete from the poop. The ducks are so brazen now that when you open
your door in the morning they come running over looking for a handout.
Of course they poop as they run along and now my walkway is covered with
duck crap. It's a mess. I need some kind of critter that likes to eat
ducks
We suffer from sea gulls.
All the blithering idiots, coming out to the coast, for holidays, Ooooing and
Aaaahing at the "pretty birds", mostly Herring Gulls, and then feeding the
damn
Shite Hawks, encouraging them to come and take food from their hands.
They got so bold, that they were attacking children, to steal ice creams,
hot
dogs, burgers, chips(french fries)or anything else that looked eatable.
Folks tend to forget that although they are generally considered omnivorous
scavengers, gulls are also predators, and that beak that can hold a fish,
near
half the size of the bird, can also remove a child's finger, or inflict a
nasty
cut.
There are now notices all around the Devon and Cornwall coast, warning
against
feeding the gulls, but Londoners, who have stood in Hyde Park, and fed the
sparrows, seem to think they know better.
So we still have a problem, during the season.
What is this crazy compulsion for humans to feed wild animals anyway?
Animals are quite capable of fending for themselves in the wild. They've
been doing it for eons even before humans arrived on the scene. All we
are doing is converting harmless, or even beneficial, animals into pests.
