The point is that you would have to completely enclose it which would likely take a lot of the joy of having the koi pond in the first place.

At the "Bird of Prey Show" at the local Renaissance Fest they have a hawk that swoops in and grab something on the end of a long, thick cord that the handler swings rapidly in a circle over his head. In fact one of the highlights is when it plunges between a member of the audience's slightly spread legs.

Why begrudge the birds their food? You can always add more koi.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

The curator says, "oh, it's easy, every couple days, we put in a new lamb".

They do sell netting designed to protect against birds of prey. It's a lot more aesthetically pleasing than chicken wire (which isn't saying much). My experience with predators is that you only ever hinder them. It's always a question of how determined/hungry they are. That said, I know that a properly designed pond should account for protection against predators. It might be a question of depth, overhangs, hiding places, width, or whatever else. A lot of the pictures I've seen online are of small, shallow ponds with no place for fish to go. They're basically buffet lines for anything hungry.I'm not here anymore.
