Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Seriously, though. Could you make it stop? They're crapping all over my car, my house, my lawn... And the noise. I can't hear my music anymore.

I'm thinking about getting a cat.

2. I thought you were allergic to cats, though?
Maybe an ultrasonic emitter would do the trick.

19. God, I'm so sick of you people passing judgement based on my birds
It's a medical disorder okay? I've seen a doctor, he prescribed an ointment. It can't be helped, so just back the fuck off. As if the general social stigma isn't bad enough, now I've got so-called "progressives" ragging on me about it?

Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 09:27 PM by barb162
your attention for distraction, as in, get away from their nest.

Also, is a neighbor feeding them?

Is it one type of bird coming in large flocks?

If they are imaginary, the same rules apply. Imaginatively.

32. Sparrows and the like are cool...
but pigeons are the most vile and disgusting creatures on the planet. Our last apartment was located adjacent to a pigeon commune. The little hellspawn camped out on most of the window ledges and on the window AC units. They pooped on everything and were always cooing or fornicating. There were several windows that had to stay shut all the time because of the intrusive beasts.

I hate pigeons. x(

40. When I lived in Richmond VA in the city near the river, it was SQUIRRELS
Have you ever seen squirrel poo? Looks identical to ours except much smaller. Barbie size, I'd say. Took me forever to figure out who was leaving the barbie poo on my car!

BTW, Thanks a hell of a lot for giving me a Carpenter's ear worm!

:D
