I had a similar issue with geese on a patch of grass in front of the house where the kids played. Flocks of geese in the 10s would ruin it in half a day.

I found a 532nm green laser to be extremely effective. Let the dot approach them and shine near their feet for best effect. (Of course avoid the eyes and keep the laser power down so the reflection doesn’t harm them either!). It took some time to get into the flocks psyche. You had to get the entire group distress level to a certain level before they would take off and leave.

The next step I got to was building a turret for the pointer. Goose detection image recognition was underway to make the system autonomous but I haven’t been able to finish it and have moved in the mean time so it’s not likely I’ll finish it.

If anyone else wants to have a go at it let me know.
