So it's obviously my day to deal with nuisance birds. My mom's lake has been taken over by white Pelicans. She says they're eating all the bait fish. How does she get rid of them. Shooting is not an option and the noisemaker they use for cormorants dies not work.

This is why you stock up on bottle rockets when fireworks are being sold.

If the birds decide thats where they want to be... outside of killing them there isnt much that will scare them away.

Nah, once the brown pelicans show up, the white pelicans tend to relocate.
