Hi, does anyone have any advice on how to deal with very noisy hadedas in JHB? When we moved in there was a pair nesting in the tree on our property. They have been breeding and there's now 3 pairs nesting in the trees around our house. So every morning it's 4-6 hadedas going at once. They wake up our baby, hence the desperation for a humane way to relocate their nests.

We have put spikes on our roof, have a large dog who chases them when they are on the lawn and I have even put out two fake hadedas to try get them to move on, nothing has worked. We often work night shifts so desperately need the sleep in the morning.
