Any idea how we can keep those damn birds away? They're huge birds. Here's the culprit.

"...we've worked out the fantastic heron deterrent. We had a problem, terrible with the heron; the heron kept going and eating the fish, so we were told to put a mesh over... It was no good, he got through the mesh. So eventually, we tried to put a fake heron, and the fake heron... thinking that would be the solution, but that had the opposite effect; it attracted three or four herons, who were circling around going, "Whoa! She gorgeous!" You know. Standing there... "Oh, she's so still, the way she stands there, always so still." And, er, so we got rid of the fake heron and then we got a fake crocodile for 7.99. Works a treat! The herons are terrified of this crocodile..."
