Fake snakes, pictures taped up to on windows, sun catchers, shiny pinwheels won't deter this maniac.
Bird chirps non stop from 2am until 3pm the next day right! I’ve tried playing owl sounds on my outdoor speakers, banging pans, fake owl, threw shoes at the tree…nothing works. He sits on the same branch all day! (Wonder what my neighbors think of me)
At least he’s not banging into my window every 5 minutes like the one I scared off a few years ago. I placed a life size cutout of Michael Jordan in the window and the little jerk finally stopped. HELP!!!
Hey everyone, I have a robin with a nest close to the house and this bird keep’s crashing into my window, I have decals on the window and today I put up pictures of a hawk but it’s still crashing into my bedroom window. It starts around 5:30 am and I do not have to get up until 10 or so. What can I do?
Outside my apartment is a fire sprinkler and birds take turns either sitting there to poop on my porch or they’re trying to nest. I’m tired of cleaning up poop and am looking for away to discourage them from sitting and potentially nesting. Is there a spray or paste or something that won’t harm them but will make them move on?
Somebody please tell me how a bird shit on my window like how did it not hit the floor but my windows
they won’t stop. i have a first appointment with a new therapist at 10am and she will be hearing about this. googled what was happening for a scientific cause and google said that i was in danger and now i’m scared, mad, and tired. came to reddit for help. thanks.
This cardinal has a deep hatred for my car. For months the same cardinal goes to my drivers side mirror and attacks it's reflection in my window and scratches and pecks for about 15 minutes and it's an almost daily occurrence. Sometimes he'll go at it for a few minutes. Leave. Come back and do it again. Never happens to my husband's car. And it's always the drivers side. Yes those are actual scratches, some of it can be wiped off but it's a lot of scratches in there.

So my husband and I have been living in an apartment building made of wood (husband calls it the Pressboard Palace lmao) for a few years and recently some woodpeckers have decided to peck at the exterior wall of our unit constantly. I literally mean for hours during the day on the wall where my home office/bedroom is. I meet with clients virtually all day, and it is a major distraction.
Unfortunately due to the layout of the room/closet we can’t move our bed to the other side of the room but it’s honestly still loud AF across the whole apartment too. We have tried everything we could think of, playing predator/woodpecker in distress sounds, making a mixture of different spices & herbs they don’t like and spraying it on the side of the building, going out there to scare them off. We think they are trying to nest, so a suet feeder would probably be useless at best, or attract more woodpeckers at worst…
Our property management company came out to repair the hole they’d made in the wood (put a strip of metal to protect it) but a few days later they just made another hole in a different spot a few inches away. We’re at our wits end from the pecking. Wondering if anyone has ideas of what we can do?? We will probably notify the PM company that they’re back but wondering if there are other things we can try too. TIA!
This thing comes back every year. Western PA.
It sits on the roof of my neighbor's house. Our houses are about 10 feet apart.
The bird nests in the gutter of his house and clogs it. Every year, it rains and it loses the nesting.
It builds more. The chirping is about 1x per second and it's LOUD. I work from home and people can hear it on calls. I have never heard something so small make so much noise. And it doesn't stop for breaks.
When I walk outside to my car, it comes after me. It dive bombs me as if it's going to attack after the nest is built and eggs are laid. It swoops my head and has never hit me but comes close. It comes after anyone who approaches the front door (mailman).
I know I can't remove it. I tried a fake owl which did nothing.
Has anyone had this issue?
I’m going crazy, about 3 weeks ago a bird just came to my street and settled in my neighbors tree. Every single night, 9pm-4am, the bird decides to chirp loudly. Is it common for them to do this nonstop every single night? I literally have to put some background noise to be able to sleep. This bird does different chirping noises every minute or so. Almost sounds like if it was a robot controlled bird. It’s driving me so crazy, I wanna shoot the dang bird. It’s so fricken annoying. It’s currently 12:34AM and I’m so irritated. My intrusive thoughts make me want to go to my neighbor’s tree and shake it so the dang bird can leave my street. 😡
