NO you can't wring the herons neck:eek!: :eek!: :eek!: It's a beauty but a bit stupid, it's fallen for the plastic one:t:eek::)
 
It dont look too bothered about your Koi Tony, its more interested in that other bird, another good un.
 
Oh my Goodness!!!!! These herons are such a plague to the koi and goldfish. I'd bought one of the decoys because it was supposed to keep the Great Blue Herons out of my pond but it didn't work for me either. Last summer the Heron got four of my ten year old Shubunkin Goldfish. They were beauties and are now gone. Like you I'm so ambivalent, love the Herons but not in my pond please!
