Bit of an odd post this, I believe it doesn’t break any rules, if it does though – please accept my apologies mods and delete it!
Right – I’m sort of at my wits end here, and have made my mind up to shoot, but an interesting topic for discussion maybe?
Situation – I live in an end of terrace council house, our garden is very long and bordered by trees in most places, and 6 foot+ fences elsewhere, and owing to the fact it’s hot as hell most of the time now, our two cats like to go lay in the shade; and that’s where the problem starts:
We have two small birds that immediately come into the garden when the cats are out, I’m no bird expert but they are ****ing annoying! Seriously, they will squawk (not a little chirp) non-stop when the cats are there, sometimes it lasts for hours on end, and it doesn’t matter if the cats come back in (they get swooped at by the birds!) these bloody things still keep making a racket!
They’ve been around for at least a month now, possibly longer, and wont shut the hell up, they keep coming back, even though there’s no nest out there, it’s almost like they enjoy fighting cats and are determined to stand their ground – not great when you’re woken at 4AM to the sound and have to shut the windows either!
These last few weeks I’ve taken to wearing earplugs I use on the motorcycle, just so I can get uninterrupted sleep, but as I said, it’s getting on my wick now!
So, I have dug out an old .177 gas pistol I had, and intend to pop into town today to get pellets and gas – much as I don’t relish the idea of taking a shot at these birds, they really are taking the ****.
Anyone else been driven to the murder of animals
