People and their kids like to come over unannounced, and without permission, to look at my ducks like it's the fuckin zoo or some shit.

Need some humor for this situation to ease my frustration

You're looking at this wrong way.
Buy a gumball machine. Put on fence. Fill machine with enough feed for the day. Charge other people to feed your ducks

Obvious answer is to give the kids ducklings for every visit. Pressuring kids parents to stop their kids coming over without permission. Unless they want to own duck pets.

Build an exact replica of that area right next to the original. They'll be confused, are they visiting the real ducks or a simulacrum of the ducks?

Build a moat. It would certainly keep me out.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 1 year ago

Woohoo, free swimming pool!

Now, a lava moat...

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

train the ducks to chase after the enemies. Lol

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or just add some geese to the flock.

The real answer

I would have to go with landmines. If that isn't enough of a deterrent, and claymores or even some bouncing betties.

"Entry Fee (min one):

  • Carrot
  • Apple
  • ..."

That way you get duck (or human) food for free.

Give the ducks a nice shower/sprinkler set up that's both timer and manually controlled.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Motion controlled

depending on where you're from you can hang up a sign saying "trespassing Children will be converted to Islam"

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Get you some geese

Pro tip - feed them a handful of dandelion leaves twice a day, they'll be your best friends

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had geese once. It was awful lol

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Put up a sign that says “WARNING: rabid ducks, enter property at own risk”
