What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I am in a murderous mood: flocks of pigeons invading my garden and gobbling up the food I put out for birds I love. One cheeky sod does not even look up then I bang on the window and waits till I go into the garden before leaving after giving me a "WOT?" look. He is so fat he can barely take off, wishing a hawk would get him instead of the songbirds - family sized meal!
Oh for a blunderbuss... Catapult and water pistol ineffective. Installing a sprinkler would be very difficult. Any ideas?
What makes one bird more desirable than another?
I’ve actually seen there’s some type of a sprinkler that’s motion detected. Somebody was having problems with people stealing things out of their truck, so they put a motion detector sprinkler system out. It’s a great way to get rid of pests, of any size. However… The other birds would get wet too so I don’t know how that would work out.
Also some thing else you could do is just get a box or something and put old bread, art stuff that’s cheap in it, and move it away from the area where you want the cute birds to come. If the big bird wants to come first and chow down, he’ll go to that other box 1st. Once you see him out there chowing down, then put out food for the little birds.

Get an air rifle or bb gun. Make them pay with a little pain.😁
This is funny because my dad used to be bothered by crows. So he had a BB gun. He said if you leave a couple dead ones laying around, the rest never come back. Lol
A big plastic bad ass owl on a stake and a couple of fake rubber snakes in your garden. And an air horn or extremely large wind chimes! The air horn you can blast thru an open window!
Name checks out.
