HAZARDS OF<br />

FEEDING DUCKS<br />

As many of you may have noticed the<br />

Tree Ducks, also known as Mexican<br />

Whistlers, have returned to <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> in ever increasing numbers<br />

each year, while our Mallards have<br />

decreased. They appear to be most<br />

prevalent in the area of 10-12 homes<br />

surrounding where homeowners feed<br />

these wild birds. While observing<br />

the ducks is enjoyable and feeding<br />

them may even be fun, the majority<br />

of homeowners have found them to<br />

eventually become quite a nuisance<br />

and difficult to get rid of once feeding<br />

is started. The mess, along with<br />

the health hazards to the ducks,<br />

additional wildlife, pets and even humans has created frustration, expense,<br />

decrease in use of outdoor space and even serious illness among pets in<br />

our neighborhood.<br />

Feeding the ducks, according to the US Wildlife and Fisheries Department,<br />

the governing body charged with managing waterfowl, can result in several<br />

illnesses among the ducks themselves and has resulted in the actual death<br />

of large numbers of ducks in some areas when there is an epidemic of<br />

disease. When large numbers of ducks congregate in small areas such<br />

as our waterways, they are often eating and defecating in the same areas.<br />

Uneaten food can mold, causing illness and attracts rodents. Bread is very<br />

hazardous to ducks. Large populations concentrated in small areas also<br />

encourage competition for food and mates. During the mating season, when<br />

there is such competition, males often kill off by drowning the females while<br />

fighting for “privileges.” It has been observed near Grotto Point that this<br />

winter there are 24 male mallards and only one female. Over the past few<br />

years many of us have observed the violent deaths of these females. The<br />

nesting by the female mallards in our flowerbeds is not just a nuisance and<br />

health hazard but unsafe for the ducks. The baby ducks rarely survive due<br />

to turtles, large fish, dogs and cats and rodents, despite the efforts many of<br />

our residents go through trying to save them. This is a further indication that<br />

ducks are better off when they can nest in areas that are natural habitats…<br />

ducks have survived for thousands of years not being fed by humans! And<br />

creating dependence on humans for food leads to death by dogs and cats<br />

and even automobiles as these creatures lose their natural fear of humans<br />

and wander our neighborhoods.<br />

One average duck creates 1/3 lb. of feces every day. Multiply that by over<br />

100 counted in one 10-12 home area alone, that is 33 pounds of feces per<br />

day being deposited in the water, on our yards, docks, bulkheads, driveways<br />

and rooftops. The concentration can result in degradation of the quality of<br />

water and increase in algae growth, which is something our HOA dues is<br />

paying to prevent. Additionally, the feces can increase the concentration of<br />

e-coli in the water. While swimming in our waterways is prohibited, many<br />

of us enjoy canoeing and kayaking and contact with e-coli contaminated<br />

water can result in personal illness. Bird feces in general can result in many<br />

illnesses including salmonella, giardia and general bacterial infection causing<br />

gastrointestinal illnesses. You, your children or pet walking outside in areas<br />

contaminated by duck feces can actually track it inside your home to your<br />

carpet or flooring. There is also anecdotal information that the droppings<br />

are highly corrosive and can damage or cause deterioration to any building<br />

material including shingles and wood. They may also carry mites and a<br />

“bedbug” type insect that can invade our outdoor furniture cushions.<br />

Cleaning up after the ducks that have left unsightly messes on docks<br />

and bulkheads is a necessity to keep our community clean and pleasant<br />

appearing. However the CDC has strict guidelines for how to safely clean<br />

bird feces, which involves wearing protective clothing, a mask and even a<br />

respirator when there is a large concentration of droppings. Spores from the<br />

feces that can be infected with histoplasmosis can travel for long distances<br />

and when inhaled, can cause a serious respiratory fungal infection. Those<br />

most susceptible include infants and children, people with compromised<br />

immune systems such as those undergoing chemotherapy, those with<br />

asthma or respiratory diseases and the elderly.<br />

Jim Steinbaugh, the Special Agent with the US Fish and Wildlife Department<br />

says that the most effective deterrent to nuisance ducks is to STOP<br />

FEEDING them. They will eventually move on to natural food sources. It is<br />

illegal to feed them in common areas and common waterways. Deterrents<br />

include loud noises, mylar balloons, decoys of predators such as hawks and<br />

coyotes and squirting them with a water hose. There are also spike strips<br />

that can be placed along the bulkhead and dock but are costly and they<br />

can easily fly over them. Consistency is the key as well as daily relocation<br />

of visual deterrents. And in some cases, the roosting takes place over night<br />

in which case most of us are asleep. But he also states that once the ducks<br />

become accustomed to your deterrents they will return. It appears that<br />

resident feeding usually takes place just before dark and early am, so the<br />

ducks are waiting at surrounding docks and bulkheads. This would be the<br />

prime time to use your deterrents. In special cases where duck populations<br />

are determined to be a health hazard by agents such as Mr. Steinbaugh,<br />

there are some provisions for eliminating some of the ducks, by permit only.<br />

We are very hopeful that would never have to happen.<br />

PREVENTING<br />

ROACHES FROM<br />

ENTERING YOUR HOME<br />

By <strong>Sydney</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong>’s Landscape Committee<br />

At various times of the year we find roaches<br />

invading our homes. There are some<br />

preventative measures that we are able to take<br />

in our yard to help minimize this. American<br />

cockroaches prefer warm, damp areas like<br />

flowerbeds, under mulch and piles of leaves. They prefer to consume<br />

decaying matter. Taking time to remove fallen tree leaves as well as pulling<br />

back mulch away from the foundation of your home will help keep them away<br />

from the inside of your home. Also, check your door weather stripping. If<br />

damaged, they may enter through the tiny gaps. If you wish to implement<br />

outdoor roach bait, consider doing it away from your home. Taking a few<br />

minutes to implement these measures may help reduce those pesky critters.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and<br />

more drought resistant roots.<br />

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL<br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great<br />

many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy<br />

‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches,<br />

termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of<br />

future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your<br />

homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in<br />

your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12”<br />

- 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is<br />

18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up<br />

next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The<br />

most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing<br />

high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates<br />

overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest<br />

onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests<br />

from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and<br />

puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown<br />

patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in<br />

some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b)<br />

fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not<br />

water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

SALUTE TO OUR HEROES GALA<br />

On February 13, <strong>2016</strong>, the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF) held its 8 th<br />

Annual Salute to Our Heroes Gala at the Omni Hotel Houston Westside raising<br />

over $100,000 to benefit graduating seniors from the Cypress Fairbanks ISD.<br />

Cypress Woods High School AFJROTC was chosen to Present the Colors and<br />

the Missing Man Table and Honors Ceremony. Tina Clinkenbeard, CFISD Teacher,<br />

sang the National Anthem. State Representative Allen Fletcher gave the invocation<br />

and Senior Ryan Lancaster, from Cy-Fair High School, played TAPS.<br />

Kevin “Dauber” Lacz, former Navy SEAL sniper and combat medic was our guest<br />

speaker for the evening. Lacz spoke from the heart about his experiences as a<br />

Navy SEAL and the impact his service in the military had on his life. As a Certified<br />

Physician Assistant, Lacz uses his past experiences to facilitate his work in<br />

medicine and charity and actively seeks to support service members and veterans<br />

in his community. Lacz inspired us all with his motivational story, winning attitude<br />

and continued commitment to service.<br />

Joe Myers Ford Lincoln generously underwrote this year’s Salute to Our Heroes<br />

Gala and we are grateful that they have agreed to underwrite this event in 2017.<br />

Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital and North Cypress Medical Center<br />

were Major General Sponsors this year. Salute to Our Heroes has raised more<br />

than half a million dollars over the past eight years, funding several endowed<br />

scholarships for students graduating from the Cypress Fairbanks ISD.<br />

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund a scholarship<br />

for high school graduates in the area. Over the past 46 years, the Foundation<br />

has grown tremendously through the efforts of the Board of Trustees and the<br />

generosity of the Cy-Fair Community. The Foundation has awarded more than $6<br />

million in scholarships to 1,300 graduating seniors. CFEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit<br />

organization, all contributions are tax deductible, as allowed by the law. For more<br />

8 TH ANNUAL CY-FAIR WOMEN’S EXPO<br />

THURSDAY, APRIL 28, <strong>2016</strong>, 11 AM-4 PM<br />

The Cy-Fair Express Network (CYFEN) will host the 8 th Annual Cy-Fair<br />

Women’s EXPO at Sterling Country Club at Houston National. We are so<br />

excited to share some of the exciting plans we have for our annual expo.<br />

Besides giving vendors a place to showcase their products and services, the<br />

goal for our expo year is to get the community more involved and show the<br />

Cy-Fair area what ABWA and CYFEN is all about. One of the ways we are<br />

doing this is to have dynamic round table discussions focusing on health and<br />

wellness, communication, relationships and personal finance.<br />

Our Keynote speaker will be ACTION 13 CONSUMER Reporter Patricia<br />

Lopez who focuses on saving you money through her daily “Stretch Your<br />

Dollar” segments on ABC13. You can join Patricia’s presentation at 12 Noon.<br />

Vendor registration is now open. We only take 2 business types per category<br />

and NO two businesses can be exactly the same. We only have 50 vendor<br />

tables available so reserve your spot now! There are also a very limited<br />

number of sponsorship opportunities still available. For more information<br />

about the Expo or about CYFEN, please go to CYFEN.org or email<br />
