Herons and MLM

Herons and MLM

Herons are beautiful creatures that will poise themselves along the river or flying just above the water skimming the water with it’s slow, deep wing beats.  You will often find it standing motionless searching for it’s prey and would often think it could be a statue.  But beware that heron will stand still scanning for a way to catch it’s prey.

Herons can move very slowly sometimes but when it sees a fish that it wants it will strike like lightening.

Herons have a specially shaped neck allowing them to curl their neck into an S shape which gives them an aerodynamic flight profile which means they can strike on their prey at a distance.  They have a fringed claw on their middle toes which they can comb their chest feathers which comes out like ‘down’ and they then apply this to the under part of their body which protects them from any slime or oil they might come across in rivers or swamps.  These feathers continually grow and fall out.

One feature of the heron is that is only weights between five and six pound and that is due to the fact that they have hollow bones, the same as other species of birds.  They have photoreceptors in their eyes which gives them great night vision so that they can pounce on their prey day or night.

The fish farmers have problems with these herons as they will all congregate around a fish hatchery and if there were any sick fish in the water they would swim near the top of the water making them very vulnerable for the heron.

Herons will eat anything from fish, reptiles, insects and other birds.  When they see a fish they will use their long bill like a spear to catch it and then shake it about to break the sharp spines on the fish before gulping it down.

Seagulls are a good target for herons and they have also been known to attack humans.

The reason I am telling you about herons is the fact that we moved to the coast a few years ago and at the end of our garden we have a high wall where all the seagulls used to gather.  It was always worse in the summer and you can imagine what it is like when you hang your washing out to dry !!

My husband then decided he wanted a pond and some koi carp.  Now my mind started racing thinking about the seagulls so I decided to buy a heron statue.  Within five minutes of placing that heron statue next to the pond we have never seen a seagull sitting up on that back wall.  We would sometimes see them sitting on the roof, but at last we are now free from seagulls.  We bought our koi carp and sturgeons and even though we don’t see any seagulls we have now put a net over the pond just in case.

But do not be fooled if you live in an area where you see herons, as apparently they can’t tolerate another live heron BUT they will ‘fall in love’ with a heron statue !!  There are several ways you can protect your fish pond.  Firstly you can cover in a net or you could build like a patio cover over the top.  You could also put cave models and fish tunnels in your pond where they can hide – or if you have a rottweiler – or actually any dog this would also deter the herons.  If you have a larger pond you can also buy a crocodile or alligator statue which also appears to keep the herons at bay.

Now to get to the point………  You could say that if you are in an MLM business that we are also predators.  Where a heron does not give up until it catches it’s prey, if you are serious about your online business then you will not give up until you have caught your prey – leads– So take a tip from the heron.  Just don’t give up !
