Motorcycle used in fight against duck problem in NSW

[Bob]

Wild ducks are causing a major problem in drought-stricken New South Wales. Feed along the coast is drying up, so the ducks are moving inland to roost, eating and messing on rye grass meant for cattle.

The solution? Ride a bike at them. According to one local cattle producer "We ride a motorbike or a quad runner through them and that seems to scare them away a bit. We also scare them with a few rounds of ammunition, but we don’t him them – well not yet anyway”

Ha,if the stupid buggers hadn't banned duck shooting they might not have such a problem.Was once a time when you could get paid for shooting ducks over NSW rice crops.
There was a reason for it.I hope the greenie tree huggers like duck poo in their wheaties.
