being woken up by birds!

Bob Harris

Get yourself a realistic looking fake hawk and stick it on the roof. That won't be long keeping them away. Until they realise what it is and then they perch and shít on it's head.

No birds woke me up this morning - if i had my skeptical hat on I would swear the said birds are subscribers to boards.ie and have read this thread and decided to give me a break!

On an aside note the neighbours dog woke me up out of a deep sleep instead this morning the fecker - it has the most whingy'est whiny'est bark I have ever heard on a dog .. - sounds like its bark has to break. at what age does a dog enter puberty?

I have the same problem. I thought I had rats in the roof space. Turns out it was birds waiting for the morning Sun to warm up and their talons were scratching on the slate.

I love how so many posters refer to a birds claws as talons.

Same here in my garden today.

nice flock of birds and all in their summer plumage and they look to be all ''twittering'' away

bnt

In spring time I get magpies having arguments on my windowsill at 6 in the morning. I could chase them away, but I don't really mind them. The foxes at 3AM, on the other hand ... with the horrendous noises they make, I'm not surprised some folks believe in ghosts. :eek:

Great, now the Starlings are back. Noisy little sods.

Definitely rats, they cheep and chitter just like birds. Every time you get awoken by the choir of birdsong, just remember it might well be a rat gnawing its way through your ceiling.

I am curious. How would rats become occupants of an attic in the first place? By having climbed up a drainpipe?

I fucking love the sound of birds singing, one of my favourite sounds.

Well I used to live in a town and there'd be lads shouting and roaring all hours coming out of house parties so magpies are a welcome change! It's subjective:)

well yeah, admittedly if i had the option between lads shouting coming out of house parties and magpies i would choose magpies ....

but if i had the ultimate option i would rather be not woken up by feckin anything!

oh, you ought to see what an miserable arse I am when i get woken up from a lovely deep sleep in the morning like that :eek:

I hate the birds chirping in summer at the crack of down around 4am. I'm such a light sleeper so they ruin my sleep often.

Cats and/or foxes are annoying sometimes too with their scary banshee howling

my dogs hate that howling - sends them crazy. and if they hear a fox howling on TV as well - theres an advert on at the moment where the woman is in the woods and some foxe's are chasing her - they nearly knock over the telly when that comes on
