can I do something to block bird chirping outside to wake up kids?

Anonymous
Birds chirping outside early in the morning on rooftop and tress around it, and sometimes it wakes up my kids. I am kind of curious if there is anything that I can do to block bird chirping noises?

I know blackout curtains block out lights, how about that?

Sound machine or fan inside. Don't sleep with the windows open.

We discovered a large family of chipper birds lived outside our master bedroom our first night we moved in.

I hate the damn birds. The weather has been so nice this May and they've made it so we can't sleep with the windows open.

OP you could cut down the tree.

+1 to a sound machine. White noise works for both of my girls.


Cut down a tree to get rid of birds chirping? I take it you don't get out into nature much!

Teach your kids to hear the noise, note it's just the birds saying good morning and having an early morning bird meeting, and go back to sleep.

They'll get used to it. Better than police sirens.

Or, a sound machine hooked up to a timer maybe?

White noise machine won't work, FYI.

You’re a shit human being, PP.

And the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act prevents the killing of songbirds, violation of which is a federal crime.

Also only scumbags kills wildlife for convenience.

UnFingbelievable.

PP here and sorry, my reply was intended to be absurd.

I am assuming the OP knows about white noise machines, so I felt like the OP was asking how to "off" the birds somehow. My answer was intended to reflect what I felt was the absurdity of the question.

White noise machine or app. Obviously.

Also, soft earplugs, if they are old enough/can tolerate them.

I thought white noise machines are bad for kids? Or is that only until they become verbal?

Really? I’ve never heard that. We’ve used them in the nursery with both of our young DDs.
