There is a pelican who has decided he likes to hang around my pond! I
know he's probably trying to eat my fish, I hope the fish are quick
enough to avoid capture. My wife has scared him off a few times while
going down in the morning to feed the fish.

What can I do to keep this thing away. And before you asnwer, no I
don't want to hurt the pelican.

give him a laxative laced herring.

Because of all the fish predators we have here we had to net our ponds with
that fine black bird-netting. Some people had luck using those water
spraying motion detectors (about $100).
