Andy-

One more possibility.

1.  Encourage the ravens to take more golf balls.

2. Sell the golf balls back to the golvers.

3. Get the ravens to take them again.

4. Keep repeating process.

5. Use proceeds to fund bird conservation and research projects.

Other similar projects I have in mind include teaching Powerful Owls to eat
domestic cats.

I have just been contacted by my local council re Ravens collecting
golf balls and dropping them from a great height. A local resident is
somewhat miffed  about this activity, presumably because of safety
considerations.

Are there any solutions to this problem?

I presume that it is illegal to remove the birds. This leaves, in my
mind, three other possible solutions:

1) Wear proctective headgear.

2) Move house.

3) Ban golf.

Doubtless someone will have some more sensible suggestions or have I
covered all bases?


regards, Andy
