Bought an owl decoy to get rid of pigeons.....within a few days they were actually perched on it's head.
Decoy foxes and swans have not worked with geese in Meredith but I have heard that rubber snakes work keeping ducks and sea gulls away from boats.
Might be worth a try.

We have a nice grass field here in Massachusetts where the geese congregate. Several years ago someone put up 2 pictures of a coyote in life size on the field and the geese disappeared. Recently I have noticed that the geese have again made this field home. Time for the life sized pictures.

The one I bough the head swivels with a breeze... it looks like it's slowly turning it head like areal one does! I get the landing on its head though...some birds are real smart, pigeons are one of them!
