Waving a rubber duck at the problem works as well as waving a rubber  
chicken at it, but it's a bit more exotic (at least here in the US).   
You can also try waving a rubber frog but that only tends to work in  
France (particularly if you use the legs of the rubber frog alone).

I've heard that some folks over in Sweetwater, TX have had really good  
results with a rubber rattlesnake as well, though other people say the  
effectiveness of the rattlesnake is in a class by itself and that it  
"works nothing like chicken".
