Did you know...?
The main top-end predator of the pond and its inhabitants are birds. Their diet consists of various aquatic life. Most birds love fish, aquatic plants, crustaceans, and any other tasty morsels they can fit between their beaks. The primary hunter in most ponds is the great blue heron. These birds love ornamental pond fish because they're easy targets to catch. Other birds that prey upon pond inhabitants include hawks, osprey, egret, green heron, kingfisher, and an occasional eagle. For the most part, geese, swan, and all types of ducks prefer a diet of aquatic vegetation but will consume some smaller pond animals. A bird of prey is usually an unwanted visitor to the backyard pond because of the expensive ornamental fish they may eat. If you can, try to co-exist with them as much as possible. |
