I may have to KILL a bird..
We have a bird in our treee in back who will not STFU..

He jabbers ALL NIGHT LONG..

It's a blue jay..and now he has invited some friends over and there are THREE of 'em out there golng on and on and on..

They are all singing something different too..

I thought birds were quiet at night..


cheep..cheeep..chirp..chirp.. squawk..and there's some vibrato singing too..

1. When they're mating, they're noisy at night.
You probably are, too! Seriously, how many chances do they get? I hope you can get some sleep soon. Let's hope the birds aren't too picky this year.

3. It could be worse.
It could be cats in heat. :-) Actually, if you put an fake owl or rubber snake in the tree, that might make them take up their singing somewhere else.

4. It's because they're blue isn't it? You wanted Robins didn't you?
Sure. You say it's because of the singing but it's really because they're blue isn't it?

Fess up...You crave red-breasted tunes and not the cool blue ballads of the Blue-Jay.

5. You sure it's a blue jay at night?
Mockingbirds are notorious for singing all night long.

6. That is what came to my mind first, too
Blue Jays are like my alarm clock here. They'll squawk even when I don't set the alarm :P

16. Well, if it is, the OP is screwn, because it's a sin to kill a mockingbird. nt

7. Bird song translated
"What's your sign?"

"That dress would look great on the floor next to my bed."

"Nice shoes. Wanna fuck?"

"Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can see myself in them."

"Lets do breakfast tomorrow. Should I call you or nudge you?"

"Excuse me, are you ready to go home yet?"

"Hi, I make more money than you can spend."

"Did it hurt?" "When you fell from heaven?"

18. Well you know what they said?!
(it says the "N" word, but in good taste like a sex scene in an action movie)

12. Nah, that's just what birds say
And if you think they're unsophisticated you should hear the bees; they're really vulgar.

Me, I usually lie about the size of my... portfolio.

10. It's that time of year; hormones are a-bubbling.
Moreover, jays are the avian equivalent of GD-P; they yell for the sheer pleasure of yelling.

19. Careful!1 When I semi-playfully complained about birds pooping in the dogs' water dish
and mockingbirds singing all night and attacking people and dogs during nesting season, I was told here to get off of the planet!1

22. My husband left his air compressor on last night,
so at 4am this morning, it started up. I *will* get revenge, and it won't include chirping birds. :D

25. Me too
A Cardinal. He bangs on the window 24 hours a day.

If I could bring myself to kill an animal, he'd be first on the list. I think I might enjoy getting my hands around his throat and throttling the life out of the little bastard.

Khash.

this time of year.

and our automobiles, radios, sirens, power tools, and heavy machinery.
