Great for keeping those pesky geese away.

This decoy has a realistic furry tail that moves in the breeze and the 3-D feature allows for 360° coverage.

Many airports around the world have problems with birds being sucked into the intake of the jet engine scausing potential serious damage to the engine. (Remember the forced landing in the Hudson River on January 15th, 2009). Several test programs are being used to study the effectivness of these coyote decoys to keep the birds away from the runways. So far the decoys appear to be working well with Canada Geese but not with Seagulls or Ducks. At TJB-INC, we have had great sucess with backyard ponds & corporate grass areas with preventing the Canada Geese from foraging on the grass and leaving those nasty piles of poo behind. They will stay in the water but will fly away to feed. Since the geese tend to leave their poo droppings in the same grassy areas they feed on, keep them off your lawn will reduce the poo droppings on your property! Pity the poor property owner who does not have a decoy and gets a hungry flock of Canada Geese. They will have a large mess left behind.

The scientific name for Canada Geese is Branta canadensis. The birds often migrate in the fall, but isolated populations may reside year round. Nesting begins in March and April, in the riparian zone near a waterbody.

One goose can consume up to four pounds of grass per day, producing about three pounds of fecal matter per day. This can contribute to excessive amounts of nutrient loading because their feces contain 76% carbon, 4.4% nitrogen, and 1.3% phosphorus. These nutrients can cause harmful algal blooms in lakes from runoff. To make matters worse Cryptosporidium parvum, a protozoan linked to the feces of animals has caused over 400,000 sicknesses and a recorded six deaths (Worsnop, 1994).

DECOY HUNTING INFO

Predator hunting and most specifically Coyote Hunting has grown significantly across the United States along with the overall coyote population. The Coyote's scientifc name (Canis Latrans) means "barking dog" while the common name Coyote comes from the "Coyotl" the name used by Mexico's Nahuati Indians. This fast mammal can top out at over 40 mph for short distances and can make 14 foot leaps. Many myths from Native American peoples include a character who plays the role of trickster. While Coyote's often grow up to 26" in shoulder height, this decoy was designed smaller to play on the coyote's natural instinct to defend its territory and rid the area of unwelcome trespassers. The decoy moves the approaching Coyote's attention from you to the decoy --- turning the table on the fabled trickster.

Decoy Placement & Hunting Tips

1. Do not get human or unnatural scent on the decoy. Use gloves when carrying and positioning the decoy, then spray it with scent eliminator.

2. Place decoys upwind of where you expect the coyote to appear. Coyotes instinctively approach downwind.

3. Place decoys within your personal shooting distance in a clean shooting lane ... SAFETY FIRST!

4. Do not place the decoy in a direct line between you and where you expect the coyote to come from, the coyote may see you. Place the decoy off to one side of your location to distract the coyote's attention from your position.

5. Increase stability in strong wind by facing decoy "nose-first" into the wind.

6. Stake legs to the ground in windy areas by drilling holes in any of the 4 paws.

7. For added effectiveness, add crow & rabbit decoys to create a realistic setting and increase the confidence of approaching coyotes.

NOTE: We have noticed that the decoy only works well on adolescent & adult Canada Geese. The young chicks have not been exposed to most predators so they do not know to be afraid. If they are separated from their adult guardians, they will approch Coyote Decoys without any fear (just like a young puppy). AP photographer Mary Schwalm captured a great photo of a BirdX Coyote decoy and a nearby baby Canada Goose chick that has no fear. Mom on the other hand, was squaking from a far distance away to try to get the chick to turn around and get away!

Floating White Swan Decoy

The White Swan is a perfect addition. Use for decor or to deter Canada Geese more economically and without all the costs, hazards, and time required when spraying repellents. White Swans are very territorial, making it great to help keep geese away!

In nature, Mute swans aggressively protect their young from Canada Geese, making this swan an effective deterrent as part of an overall repellent strategy. Head and neck can be adjusted for a realistic look. This plastic decoy may be free floated, or secured in the water with string or decoy weights. It may also be secured on shore with two steel anchoring stakes (included). Decoy should be moved periodically to increase effectiveness and used with other deterrent methods.

Our White Swan Decoy will help deter Canada Geese from landing in your pond or water garden. In nature, White Swans are very territorial and will fight off most intruders who venture into their area. Geese will not want to confront an angry White Swan and most times will choose another body of water to land in.

This beautiful, hand painted floating swan is the perfect addition to any pond or backyard setting. Made from durable, lightweight polymer, this swan is decorated with all weather and non-fading paint to withstand different types of climates. Most customers have had great sucess with using the swan decoys in repelling Canada Geese but there have also been several northern customers who have had no luck in detering the geese. The swan decoys are just another weapon in your arsonal of Canada Geese Control. If nothing else, these decoys do make a nice addition to any body of water. Customers have called and asked if we guarentee the swan decoys will work. I tell them most customers have had great sucess, but there is no guarentee, written nor implied. Folks, we are talking about nature. Anything can happen! The good news is you will have a realistic looking white mute swan floating happily on your pond or lake. That alone is worth the price!

Customer's have also reported increased control by letting the first 3'-6' of the vegetation around the pond grow to a mature height. Canada Geese do not like crossing through this vegetative buffer because it is where many of their natural preditors will lay and wait to kill the geese. The buffer will help stop the daily trips from the water to your lawn and back again. With the addition of decoys, you should be able to convince the Geese to fly off to another location that is more inviting. You can also try our coyote decoy (see related products below) to keep off your lawn. See video below for more creative suggestions.

Sold Individually but price drops with quanity purchases.
Customer's report a pair of decoys works better than an individual decoy because it simulates a mated pair (Male and female). Since in the wild swans mate for life, in a mated pair, the male would fiercely defend his territory and want to protect his mate (& off-spring).
Adjustable Movable Head & Neck (see Main Photo on top right of 2 possible positions). To make the swan's head in the lower position, you would remove the neck and head and re-connect it in the reverse direction with the short curved portion now connected to the body and the head attached to the opposit end of the neck. Takes less than 10 seconds to make the change with the twist and insert molded ends of the neck & head.
Effective on land or in water
Easily converted to a resting position for land use
Floating swan is full sized and very life like.
Hand Painted
36" Long
Body is 9" High
Head is 19" Tall in upright position
3 Easy to assemble parts (body, neck, & head)
3 tabs on body for easy anchoring
Two Anchoring stakes included
Decoy is a shell only. Body is hollow, not solid.
Remove from water during periods of icing to prevent damage to decoy
Made in the USA.
Light Weight = 6.0 lbs (Shipping weight is DIM 49 lbs due to size)
Great for wedding locations or wedding photographers who want realistic swans (they can control) in the background shots.
Note: Due to the large size of this decoy, the box it ships in is a 36" x 19" x 9" box & it must ship as OVERSIZED (or 49 lbs dim weight.) The listed shipping charges reflect the actual cost to ship this large of a box through the carrier.

This is why you want the Swan Decoy to scare away the Canada Geese from your property. The sound you heard when you first visited this page was the loud squaking of a Canada Goose. If they land on your propery, they will forage on the grassy areas on your property. When they "feel the need", they will produce piles of nasty poo dropping over your property. Besides the ovious health hazards of the poo, it is unsightly and unpleasant to step in and have to remove from your shoes. If you have children or dogs, they can pick up or roll in the poo droppings creating a very smelly mess for you to clean up. My yellow lab thought the poo was a "tasty" treat before he decided to do a full body slide through the poo leaving a green/brown mess in his fur for me to clean. He would then stand up and smile with a look that said "that was fun, I think I will do it again!" (Anyone who has owned a lab can relate to my situation). We now have a swan decoy (seen in pictures above) in our pond and the Coyote Decoy on the shore to help scare away the Canada Geese. I attached a 20' fishing line tether to the bottom of the swan which is connected to a brick that I put into the pond. As the wind blows, the decoy moves around on top of the water. So far, with both of the decoys in place, my lab & my lawn have stayed free of Canada Geese Poo. Now if I can get him to stop trying to "hump" the coyote decoy, I will be all set. ... TED

PS. If you do not tether the swan decoy, make sure to move it around so the Canada Geese think it is real. This will increase effectiveness. If it is left in the same location, the geese will quickly figure out the decoy is fake and will not be afraid of it. Great for use with other deterrent methods like the Coyote and allowing the first 2' of growth next to the pond to be allowed to grow tall and wild. This will help keep the geese off your lawn.

We have had feedback from many customers that the Alligator Decoys (sold below in Related Products) also help in detering Canada Geese from small to medium ponds along with the Swan Decoys.

Adolescent Male Heron Decoy

Overall body length = 28¾" Wide x 39¼" High (73 cm x 1 m high)
Use as a decoration or to deter herons from coming to your pond by making them think another heron is already there.
Blue Herons are territorial and will not land if they feel they will be in danger from a rival male.
By adding one Blue Heron Decoy for every 50 feet of shoreline, the overflying real Blue Herons will most likely bypass your pond and go elsewhere to feed.
Blow molded durable hard plastic.
Each bird is intricately painted with a unique color finish that is lifelike and blends well in water gardens.
You can put it on the surface of your pond or water garden making it appear to be swimming, or you can stick it into the pots of plants or in any other feature making it appear to be sitting in your yard.

TJB-INC Installation Tips:

For best results with this or any decoy, is to move its location around the pond every few days or at least once a week. Blue herons are very smart. If they see the decoy in the same location everytime they fly over your pond, they will come to see the decoy heron as a decoration and not a deterent. They they will proceed to land and clean the fish out of your pond. Yes ... I too learned the hard way! I have also had good success with the fish decoys. I put several in each of our display ponds to drive the herons nuts. If the heron decoy does not stop a hungry Blue Heron, then the decoy fish will. The Heron will target the easiest fish to catch. When that fish is a hard plastic decoy that their beaks just slide off, it drives them nuts! I have seen a heron in my pond repeatedly trying to stab the decoy to no avail. What did happen, was the real fish had the opportunity to take cover until the heron left, thus saving my fish from an early demise (dinner).

Note: A heron decoy placed by the pond during March and April can actually draw a male in search of a mate.

It is best to wait until late May to put the decoy out, but it may still attract a potential suiter if the suiter is lonely enough.

The decoy is a very effective method in June through February because once he picks his mate the heron then defends his territory.
Herons stay out of other herons' defended territories when not in search of a mate.
Remember when you use a decoy to periodically move it around to keep up the appearance of a live bird.

Watch the video below to see how a Heron can eat a large fish

Now some thoughts from our ShopTJB.com President - Ted Greiner

Herons have a muddle of habits, some go in for neat extermination jobs, others may be picky, leaving the whole body of a fish and only eating the tail section. Go round a lake after herons have been and you will find a lot of variation in kill habits... Yes, they will fly around and around a location on many days before even landing on a tall tree close, for a more careful look... Very keen eyesight and hearing

After a serious heron attack, its normal for fish to go hiding for weeks, so you never know what has happened.... on a well planted pond with a lot of cover, most fish survive though you will notice the dramatic difference in their usual behaviour and wonder why.

Here's a few notes collected from observations and other folks experience

1) Predator Nets.... cheaper than losing koi, downside, local animals can get trapped in it, snared. Not very pleasant explaining to your neighbor why their pedigree cat or dog lost its life or leg through strangulation. Predator nets are probably the most cost effective barrier method, a large mesh of around 4" should allow most varieties of plants to grow through it without tangling the mesh. Smaller meshes tend to be a mess with plants, strangled pets, and dead frogs by the time Spring arrives...

2) Barrier Method.... Suspend strong fish line taut, at a height of 12" over and around the pond, herons hate trip wires. An elegantly simple way to baffle a dim fishbag on stilts, it often works, many folk have reported seeing herons 'baffled' this way.... a near invisible line that they can't see, bump into, cannot step over without tripping, is enough to stop them.... I guess herons have yet to master the skill to sneak along the ground without the use of their long leggedy stilts...

3) Hiding Places... Step up cover within the pond... water lilies.... big bits of pipe, float large sheets of black polythene (trash bags will do) trippy stuff for tangling up predators... hiding places for fish. Surprisingly, many black plastic objects, when submersed become virtually invisible, in a natural setting, so the idea of this clutter in pond is not as bad as it sounds.

I like this method, it creates a lot of hiding places and is virtually invisible to the usually attractive pond setting, it makes it very difficult for the likes of persistent herons and raccoons when they raid.... useful in winter when foliage is bare and fish want somewhere quiet, to hibernate. Bare crystal clear ponds must be an easy target for predators, the garish and brightly coloured fish must just shout loud and clear, 'sushi bar' to every itinerant fish eating scoundrel passing within sight overhead.

4) Pond Design... When you make a pond, make 45° sides, herons have gangly legs, they like 'easy walking' conditions, they hate 'trippy' pond surroundings... The one common weakness of predatory birds is the vulnerability of their gangly long legs, they absolutely rely on an easy landing place, and an easy stroll into the pond, handy shallow terraces are a big help....

5) Trapping... I can't be so fiendish, I cant advise you put out snares... a simple loop of fish line can lock onto a predators leg. Nasty way to die, though.

6) Shooting... Not everyone in the world live in areas where herons are protected, or rare... I can't recommend a .22 air rifle, a bit politically incorrect, even though a heron is easy to hit at 200' with a decent scope, unfair, too easy I guess. Anyone who has used a rifle properly could hit a quarter at 100 feet so for the squeamish, clipping some tail feathers is possible .....or hit a bucket placed beside the pond loud and close enough to frighten the bejasus out of the vile fish bag... that is an effective clean way....Alas rifles in most peoples hands are counter productive, you can waste a lot of time waiting for the opportunity to use it, to learn how to be competent with a rifle and the consequences of a bad tempered person with a lethal tool is well, unpopular...

7) Sprinklers... For the flash and the opulent, linking a motion detector and a sprinkler might provide some amusement to scare off the dratted bird. Or, a hose with a timer, that briefly blasts water every 15 minutes or so, enough to startle a pest... if the risk of absent mind folk getting a drenching is bothersome, perhaps the motion detector could be linked with an emergency service strobe light, that would be enough to freak most long leggedy villains away

8) Aquatic Plants... A heavily planted pond makes life very difficult for predators, even though the dumber fish will always be taken first, shy timid (smart) fish and the little 'uns ought to find good hidey holes easy... rafts of aquatic iris, water lilies make life difficult for hunters to find fish, let alone move around, risk stumbling

9) Fish Feeding Routine.... Have a special food signal, like tap a stone three times at feed time. You don't want your fish to associate every visitor to your pond, with a free meal.... one day it will be a heron, looking for freebies...

10) Heron Statue... what a novel idea, picturesque even. Make sure if you purchasse one that you follow the directions and move the it every several days. Now I have heard of someone linking an owl statue to a motion detector, they swore that worked... that would be a hoot if it tooted when motion was detected.... A convincing statue of a cat, dog, or a coyote decoy moved about the pond area, that might have some effect

11) Sonic Guns.... A promising new device coming onto the market.... sonic 'guns' that fire a narrow band of extreme noise in a confined direction. Link this to a motion detector and it really will do the job... herons are sensitive and nervous, a violent sound like that pointed at the pond area will blow them away when they trigger the sonic gun. Because of the controlled direction of the sonics, not likely to bother neighbours, much.... Very promising... Another device that can be activated by a motion detector is a strobe light, the sort that emergency vehicles use, that can drive off predatory birds which are unable to hunt with such a distraction... has been reported to keep fish ponds free of attacks recently, not a big deal to find and install.

12) Baseball Bats.... Herons by nature are incredibly careful hunters, you won't get within 50 feet with a bat. Anyone thinking of trying such a method will quickly learn the bird is a lot smarter than them, that will be just sooooo embarrassing....

13) Fake Crocodile Heads... might well work in Southern areas where crocodiles are well known predators. Spectacular episodes of lurking gators, flashing of teeth, boiling water as the gators charge upon unwary herons would stick in the mind of the cunning and sneaky heron. However, many herons are not familiar with crocodiles at a young stage, or have never seen them before so in many cases it just won't be noticed, except, in areas where crocodiles are well known...

14) Tin Traps.... A 'scarer' for discouraging prowlers could be a tin trap, a big can with some large round stones to rattle loud within, precariously perched, attached to a fishing line trip wire along likely approaches. Very effective after dark and around morning and dusk...

15) Shishi Odoshi.... Another critter scaring method, which may or may not work against predatory birds but is supposedly effective against deer is the Japanese 'shishi odoshi'....If it is a little out of the way without too close neighbours, this old japanese design for scaring deer might be effective, made out of a few large pieces of bamboo and relying on a trickle of water to keep it going, it's supposed to work on deer. Moose might be a different matter... It could drive you nuts if you made it a little loud...

16) Koi Decoys'.... Folk are reporting they work. Aquascape Inc. fake koi which you can moor in the pond in an open area... looking like a dozey sitting 'duck' the heron sneaks up, batters at it a few times, tries to yank the koi plus anchor out of the water, only to discover it can't.... by which time all the real koi are well alerted and in hiding, having a good snicker, I hope. Definitely one confirmed report from a chap who watched a heron outwitted by a decoy battering at the faux koi on his koi pond, wrestling with the anchored faux fish, that can be said to contribute to improved safety for pond fish, provide faux sushi.

17) Trusty "Moggy".... Since adopting a wonderful little grey cat, that has an astonishing capacity for commanding its territory and all that it surveys, especially through the twilight hours I've never seen any heron land.

Yup, an over zealous, pouncy whirling dervish of a killer moggy that spends its time dreaming of such gigantic drumsticks would be an effective deterrent to an experienced heron.

The memory of a whirling mass of tooth and claws bounding three foot into the air towards their neck would remind them to not go close to a well stocked sushi bar where a well clawed and fanged guardian roams

----------------

The time when predatory birds go pond hopping is often determined by local factors, drought, floods or freezes have made difficult or clouded their usual hunting places, early morning and fog is often a factor to make them bold enough to go close to places where ponds are, compact sushi bars are preferred....

Herons are creatures of habit, they will 'tour' their favourite water holes. When they spot a new pond with fish they will add that pond to their schedule and turn up like clockwork with the same routine...

Their eyesight is extremely good, it is something of a big advantage if the fish turn out to be garishly bright koi or goldfish... Not unlike a neon sign shouting 'sushi bar' loud and clear...

The loathsome fishbag on stilts might circle a promising pond a couple of times about 400 yards away, checking the whole area then appear to disappear over the horizon... They will disappear if they have spotted anything lurking, perhaps a cat, or fox is about...

Several minutes later, they will overfly it once or twice, gliding slow, to bank and turn and seem to go away. Five minutes or so they then come very slow, steady and at a low height from a completely different angle as if to take by surprise any skulking entity... hedgehopping, literally...

Should they spot one little thing that frets them, they will abort landing...

They want the pond all to themselves, with no complications like dogs, or people about...

Only then, when they are absolutely sure it's safe to plunder, will they come in and land in a high place overlooking the pond. Perhaps a chimney, or a small tree close to the pond.

Herons often explore ponds in gardens during times of poor visibility, fog, at first light when their usual haunts have become difficult, for example when floods have clouded waters, or when ice has formed, the conditions for likely heron attacks can be predicted if you keep an eye on the weather forecast...

When they have landed at a high vantage point overlooking the pond area, they really take their time and look with those beady little dark eyes, to make absolutely sure nothing is lurking before flapping to the best landing spot close to the pond...

I say they, because it is not unusual for them to go about in pairs...

Should your pond be netted they will go to some lengths to try and get within, finding or forcing any gap that they can... When they are safely well within the net, that is a good time to, errr....

... Surprise Them!
