Bird-X Offers Lifelike 3D Coyote to Deter Pest Geese

CHICAGO — Bird-X developed its 3D Coyote in 2007 based on
43 years of research and experience with goose problems at golf
courses, corporate, school and hospital campuses, city parks
and homes. It incorporates unique features to ensure long-term
effectiveness with no maintenance.

The Bird-X Coyote is a realistic, life-sized 3-dimensional replica
in frightening, stalking posture, 37 inches head to tail, 8 inches
wide and 16 inches tall. Its furry tail and true-to-life markings
add to the terrorizing look and imposing presence. Unlike
stationary deterrents, this coyote moves and changes positions
in even the slightest breeze. It is visible from all angles for full
360-degree coverage, making it far superior to flat silhouettes
that must be viewed "full on.”

3D Coyote is manufactured from durable water- and weather-
resistant EVA resin. It is portable, and easy to set up wherever
the goose infestation exists, yet it folds for storage when the
season is over. The Bird-X Coyote is a safe and humane
deterrent choice, avoiding dangerous chemicals or restricted
lethal methods which often generate negative publicity.

The 3D Coyote includes mounting stake and instructions
featuring an overview of the Canada goose problem and its
seasonality, plus tips on goose management.

I have this urge to get one, spray-paint it pink, and plant it on my front lawn. Since I live in Leominster, original home of the pink plastic lawn flamingo.

Last time I went to Longwood Gardens, they had signs out that mentioned that they had working dogs to help keep the Canada geese from settling in the ponds, and they also had cats to help keep rodent pests down. It was pretty nifty -- saw a couple cats. Of course, I still remember one night, after the fountain show, wandering car-ward and having to do an abrupt wide berth around a skunk that had come out to forage. The crowd that was pouring through the area was moving in a really amusing way to get away from said skunk, who ignored everyone and kept on waddling along.
