Our former neighbors had a redneck grandfather who used to shoot squirrels out their back window. Did you guys used to live in Takoma Park? |
Blow gun, they are cheap and if you don't want to kill the animals, then you can use it to just scare them. I put a small hole in my wall to be able to stick a straw out and shoot bb sized candies at them.

| Western front of AU Park: entire block from Albemarle to Ellicott. Skies are black with descending starlings. The cheeping and squawking is deafening; newly completed fieldstone hardscape in backyard is encrusted with with droppings. |

| Neighbor has just reported that her water feature has been requisitioned as a sort of field hospital for cats that have been wounded in bird skirmishes. |

? Anyway, the feral cats are winning this war. Unfortunately for millions of birds. |

Billions of birds left in the trees of AU Park. Time to scramble the feral cat drones. |

When the horny cats are yowling outside your window at 2:00am, come back here and let us know how that's working for you! |

What's wrong with you people? "It's nature, deal with it" -- are you kidding me? Next time you all get life-threatening infections, do me a favor - don't take antibiotics, just "deal with it" -- bacteria are nature, and clearly you think nature doesn't merit a solution when it's ruining someone's life.
I haven't gotten more than 3 hr sleep in a week because of some new bird that has just moved into my neighbor's tree. Sleep deprivation is far more effective than waterboarding as a form of torture. I feel for the poster, and hope someone has a solution. |

Have you heard of earplugs? Music in your room?
Fan in your room? Scare Crow? Wind chimes? I love the sound of birds; better than a barking dog!!!! |

OP here: after 2 years of scorched earth campaigns where trees were removed, cats were deployed, ambien was taken--the cheeping indeed returned this spring with it's usual brutality. I did not think to resurrect this thread--I assumed people had bird rage fatigue--so I suffered quietly.

They're killing me this year! It starts around 4:30-4:45 AM - same for you? I do all right with earplugs BUT I'm also paranoid about being murdered (make fun of me all you want DCUM, my husband already beat you to it) these days and want to be able to hear if someone is breaking into the house. Yes, I'm aware of how crazy all this sounds and will now excuse myself to go pour a glass of wine. |

Dear Little Princess, these birds have just as much right to chirp and tweet as you have to air your petty and stupid grievances. If a poll were taken, chirping and tweeting birds would be preferred to hearing you. |
