Thread: Kea deterrent measures

Be a bit careful with bird netting, a kea tangled up by it's feet in netting could be a bit more than a handful trying to get them untangled, I suspect they wouldn't be happy and you might loose a finger or two. I think you would be better off using tape as a deterrent.

You mean like tape their mouth up. That would work, no need for a four one zero.

Alright this one's a bit outside the box. A mate of mine is a chef, the restaurant he was working at had a bird problem (seagulls and pigeons). After trying all the conventional tactics someone put them onto toy rubber snakes. Haven't had a bird problem since. The theory is that it's ingrained in them to fear snakes, even if there aren't naturally snakes in the country.

So who's going to be the first to fly in a couple of rubber snakes to whack on the tent fly? Haha
