He should build one of them big electric windmill thingys in his field. He could probably get a Biden subsidy to do it and it would take care of the eagles.
He just needs to install a wind turbine on his property. Problem solved the “green way”.
Bathe the lambs in carolina reeper pepper jucie. After the 1st 2 sheep, the eagles will move on.
Apex predators will act like apex predstors.
Eagles knock off mountain climbers too : )
Save the eagles by feeding them lemmings, and leave the sheep to the coyotes.
I have a Great Pyrenees on my property. He is on patrol 24/7 and loves his job. Early one morning I saw him actually run down a Coyote, grab the predators hind quarter on a full run, and literally throw him in the air about 25 feet over a fence. Haven't heard or seen one Coyote yelling at night or in the early morning since that incident. My Pry is a three year old, a mere 126 lbs., and runs like a small horse. He is also very alert to large birds that fly over the property.
Eagles will pick up floaters. When fishing on a lake we would sometimes catch fish that could not be released with any chance of survival. Nearby eagles would immediately swoop in and take the fish back to the nest.
I have a girl that is 110 lbs and a boy that is 150! They are very protective of their herd 🙂 but also very sweet towards humans. My boy reminds me of a horse when he runs too, I pick up his paws to trim his nails the same way I would a horse, lol.
We had some neighbor kids that would ride a 4-wheeler up and down the fence line and taunt them when they were puppies. I asked them to stop, they didn’t, and then I talked to their parents... still went on. We ended up installing a privacy fence along that line. I was worried the pups would scale the fence and a kid would get hurt, and also that the taunting would make the dogs mean. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. My other neighbor has very sweet kids who bring them treats so they like kids now
Thanx, I did not know that.
There are eagles in the woods. For some people, the eagles are easy to see. Others don’t see them at all. Some people say the eagles are tame. Others say they’re vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the eagles? If there are eagles?
I wonder if putting spiked collars on the sheep would work?
Birds share the taste sensory with mammals, but lack the pain receptor for Capsaicin in peppers. Parrots often have hot peppers in their mix of dry snack foods.
Eagles lack an interest in what a parrot finds tasty, but probably will not be deterred by the Carolina Reeper, leastwise the initial talon attack.
Properly sized small-ring chain mail should be proof against talons. That was one of the first armor developed against slashing weapons. With cloth or leather underlayment, it decreased impact injuries also.
On the river we fish on when we are near the eagles nest we will throw out any dead fish we have up stream from the nest… the eagle will launch from the nest and have a look at the morsel and then make a run on it with its talons outstretched and snatch the fish and return to its nest. Quite awesome to watch and record a video of the action.
My dad had an old crank telephone he used for lots of things from fishing to breaking the neighbors dog from peeing on his tires.
Wish I could use it on the chickens/cats around here :P
