I have hundreds of them around my dams, they eat snails and worms and so on, I have never seen them eating any fish.

That's because Hadeda's have good taste Costa! :-)
In all seriousness they don't eat fish. They make a loud noise and they taste not very good. Useless bloody bird. Even Costa's big duck has more value! :-)

I guess that's why they are so many at Costa's place- even they love the quality of his fish and cant get to see enough of them.

Heard of a few claims that they do eat fish if there is nothing else but I doubt it. They are more than welcome around my ponds.
