I am at war with a Robin and losing the battle!
After seeing itself in the side mirrors of my car and falling in love with itself, it began to use my car for its courting ritual - tracking it's poop all over the car and windows in the process.
We moved our cars to another location!
It moved to my front stoop where it could see it's reflection in my glass storm door, covering my iron railing, stoop, and front door with it's poop as it continued its mating ritual with itself!
I tried covering the door with a sheet, which kept blowing all over the place, even after I tried to tape it in place.
It moved to my front basement window!
I consulted with the Internet and was advised to tape paper owl silhouettes on the glass.
Didn't faze it at all! It just keeps having one big freaking poop party with itself!
Now its building it's love nest in my dryer vent outlet.
We pull the nest stuff out, it fills it back up!
Tonight it laid siege inside the 9ft long vent pipe.
I am thinking of smoking it out!
Anyone have a BB gun I can borrow for when it flies out?
The way this battle is going so far, I am thinking I am going to end up with a dead bird stuck in my vent which is going to cause me to have to spend mega bucks to cut into the drywall ceiling to take the vent apart and get the dang stinking thing out!
Maybe I should just stick my white flag up and surrender!
"You win birdy! You can come out now!"
(fingers crossed behind my back and gun pointed at opening)
I'm at war with a woodpecker and losing the battle!
ReplyDeleteThe Robin is our state bird.Can't shoot it here. Sparrows build nest in the bumpers of my truck. Every time I leave they fly away. When I return I see them standing on one of the tires. Giving me dirty looks. lol Crazy birds. Don't they know that's what trees are for? Brian
ReplyDeleteI have surrendered and the Robyn and I have a truce of sorts! It has taken over one of my basement window ledges where it can see itself in the window reflection! Seeing as this is the least worst place so far, I have decided to give up and let it be as long as it leaves my porch and cars alone. But I will be scrubbing the window and brick sill for a long time when it finially decides to abandon it (which hopefully is SOON)!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah Brian - it is crazy as our yard is filled with trees. Hey, maybe I should put some mirrors in the trees?
