The Eagle Family Reaches Out

My new Eagle Family of Chase, Uncle Chase and Cousin Chase. are reaching out to all the Cottagers  and despite the lingering winter weather, send them best wishes for a Springtime that can’t come soon enough.

However as most of us know, Canada Geese will also soon be active at this time when they return to the shores of lakes where they were born to start raising another family! And once again many cottagers are faced with having to deal with Canada Geese nuisance problems.

Efforts to implement goose management prageograms for Ontario Cottage Associations, if even tried, have not been successful, and as a result it is up to individual cottage owners to evaluate their own geese nuisance challenges and to adopt controls, they think are most effective, while at the same time respecting the tranquility of their neighbours.

There are two basic methods to deal with geese nuisance problems. The first and most likely the best, is to destroy geese nests and eggs. Unfortunately, a permit for this method is required from the Wildlife Authorities. The second way is to utilize scaring and harassment methods for which no permit is required. Consequently, my eagle, Chase is happy to welcome Cousin Chase and Uncle Chase to join him in geese and other nuisance birds scaring activities.

Eagles are formidable birds of prey and tops the list of natural predators of Canada geese, pigeons, seagulls, doves, etc., etc., Almost all birds are born with the fear of eagles and because of that, the use of eagles in bird nuisance control strategies is very effective. In recognition of this fact, my efforts have always been to make my eagles as life like as possible.

The trio is a unique group as shown on the attached images and videos. All three use the same body, talons and tail. Their heads are effortlessly attached and detached to fit the scaring situation. They carry out scaring work in both vertical and horizontal, rotating positions at various heights, as well as being suspended by heavy duty rubber bands as shown on my new re-designed eagle launching pad. (Please have a look at my photos and videos that are detailed below)

My eagles, like their fine feathered friends, the Blue Jays, have completed some “spring training” to make sure they will be ready to commence geese scaring activities when our harsh winter subsides, the ice on our cottage lakes has disappeared and the geese make their yearly return to where they were born.

Because of the hand made nature of my work and the necessity to configure and look after countless details I have to treat all potential orders on a FCFS basis. (First Come, First Served) And as per my sales policy, no funds are required until the product is ready for shipping.

At this time the price tag for all three eagles and associated components has now been set at $269.00 plus shipping. Two individual packages would also be available as follows:

 Package #1 Chase $189.00.

 Package #2 Chase plus Uncle Chase $ 239.00; plus, shipping.

I would be happy to provide more information to anyone who might have any questions about my new Eagle family. All you have to do is email me at "dickie7500@gmail.com"
