Those bloody kookaburras keep taking my goldfish out of our fish pond. I'm extra pissed off as they took the massive gold and white one who was like 4 years old and was kind of like a mini koi he was so big. >:( :(

mesh netting over the pond, or right under the surface of the water.
If that doesn't work, there's always Mossberg.

Mesh is the way to go. You can also string fishing line in a zigzag pattern just over the pond surface and it will work. It's also not as visible. We have Great Blue Herons where I live and these birds will clean out a fish pond in minutes.

A couble of cats would also stop the birds from fishing.

You sure its Kookaburras? The reason I'm asking is that while they are members of the Kingfisher family, they usually don't reside near water. My understanding is their primary prey is mice, small lizards/reptiles, and they scavage meat (raid the garbage/barbeque grills/etc) where they can get it. I know of one zoo where the Kookaburras used to be in a display with goldfish and shiners in a small pond with them and the birds never touched the fish.

Yeah it is definitely a Kookaburra, i saw it happen. A few fish have been taken, and every time it has been a kookaburra. Guess i will have to try the net over the surface.

Staple slug pellets to the fish. You may lose a few, but the bird will eventually get the message!

urinate in the pond... works every time
