I use earbuds + search Spotify for Coffee Shop sounds when I need to drown out the demon mourning dove outside my window. |
Definitely don't shoot it with a water-based gel blaster; scaring it away without (probably) hurting it and having the pellets shrink and biodegrade would be illegal. |
You children make noise and no one suggests shooting them so leave the bird alone because it has as much right to live and make as much noise as your snowflakes. |
Don't worry OP, people are killing off birds at a rapid pace by using landscaping services who spray for weeds. One day, your yard will be completely devoid of all living things. |
I think someone suggested a pellet gun for children in another thread where children were going into the yard and making noise. |
Mockingbirds keep it up all night. |
