A non-profit group has asked me for assistance to design and install wild duck proofing around upcoming hibiscus and others veg plantings. Anyone have any experience with semi-wild waterfowl and how to protect plants from them? this will be in a public park in south LA. thanks

My first instinct of a 12 gauge is probably not the response you're seeking. Sorry. Hope someone can help

I would go with chicken wire and some t-post. I would not think they would fly into a smaller sized garden. If they fly into the garden use a netting (think trawl netting) and use post to have it cover the over the top of the garden.

I would approach it like we do for deer and rabbits so choose plants that ducks don't like such as rosebushes and juniper. A wire cage is going to be ugly IMO. You also might want to look at plants that are poisonous to ducks. Maybe you do want to poison them but I would not.

Check with DU and see what kind of nets they use

You can buy wire coated with green plastic and green fiberglass stakes.It would blend in better than plain chicken wire.
