Bird of Prey decoys for loaves

Aparantely loaves are scared of mobiles. Or so it says here. I know it's facestalk and shouldn't be believed but it would still be fun to string a load of falcon and owl decoys over some loaf's cot or pushchair when moo is too busy trying to get past level 47 of Candy Crush on her iPhone.

I was expecting a loaf staring at a Klingon Bird of Prey decloaking or some such thing. Or a loaf being cloaked... As long as they can also cloak the stench.

larious Those were my initial thoughts as well.


These people are so stupid as it's pretty obvious the loaf likes the shiny objects and movement and as long as they are mesmerized by something, they're less likely to wail.

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

Owl decoys! OMG - this brings back fond child hood memories!

I grew up in an exurban area, not really rural, but there were some small farms, and people with large gardens. These are meant to scare away pests, like a scarecrow.

I even had one, as a toy! Mine was a blow up (inflatable) one and I had it hanging from fishing line, from the ceiling, in my room.

Yeah, I was kind of a weird kid

I also thought it was going to be a Klingon ship!

I miss my little feather baby.

I thought people were selling decoys to distract birds of prey away from babies in strollers. I was wondering if we were having a new "problem" of hawks or eagles swooping down and having babby for dinner.

Unfortunately I'm not a big follower of Star Trek, so I'm a bit lost with the Klingon references. Zzelda, your decoy sounds like the one we had at our old place to scare the seagulls, a big shiny beach ball type inflatable with scary owl eyes on it.

KookieCrisp - I seem to remember there was a video floating around last year that some film students made of a babby being picked up by a bird of prey. Naturally the breeders got their knickers in a knot over it before the two lads revealed it was a fake. Shame.

Too bad the raptor didn't take it

that is utter bullshit. I loved my mobile enough that years later, i saw one similar and knew which animals were different colored than the ones i had. i also always have loved "hated" predators, such as snakes, sharks, hawks, wolves and bats. you could have put a mobile over me as a kid with a hammerhead, a barn owl, a falcon and raven and a vampire bat and i would have loved the thing.

Me too! You used to be able to dive the shark tank in the local aquarium in return for cleaning the glass above the tunnel where the visitors would walk underneath. I think they stopped it because we used to take our masks off, roll our eyes up and just float there whenever we saw any irritating kids walk past and fool them into thinking we'd drowned in the tank. larious
