Hey guys , so Im guessing this where to put this article ....
I love wildlife but damn maggies are ripping up all my aged moss around a swamp cypress group of mine .
Used a rubber snake which worked well .... till they realized it was rubber haha .
Any suggestions for an equililbrium or a way to keep them off .
Strange its only this one pot they are after.
Cheers

Evening Ken .... man you are quick mate haha .
Like flyscreen mesh ? Cut out around the base or over the entire tree ?
Shame to take the viewing pleasure from it ?

Hi Dibly
You could try spraying around your pot with stuff called scat from the big green shed. Works on blackbirds so might work on Maggie's
