BIRDS!

[Possum]

The new abode is very open when all the double sliders are pushed back. Bloody birds keep flying in and crapping ....how do I stop the pesty beasts? Guns are illegal in Singapore

[baloo]

Fly screen doors.

Or buy a pet hawk

[Possum]

screens are ugly and hawks scratch! would wind chimes help?

[canuck]

slingshot? or catapult depending on the location of the world you lived in when growing up

Great family bonding exercise for the family this weekend. Scarecrow making.

Well if you will move to what the Malays colloquially call Kota Burung..(Bird Town)

[FurBaby]

i'm sure Aliya or Kooky could set you up with a whole bunch of cats to chase off those birds

[Aliya]

I have a cunning plan. It involves lovely almost see through curtains that flow in the breeze on both sides and scare the birds orf.

Why do women, when faced with a problem, always go for the idea of "wind chimes" or other such crappy thing? I mean....they would only work when there's wind around!

You may have a winner there, Poss!

[Sandwich of Cheese]

The curtains scare the birds, or the view afforded the birds due to the aformentioned transparent nature of the curtains?

[slinky]

Helps 'em realize that the inside of Poss's house is not part of the great outdoors, I think

[Possum]

Hmmmm...but I love the open feel

[Sandwich of Cheese]

You are probably not alone in that, but most women would be a little more circumspect

[FurBaby]

how about dangling a few unwanted CDs from the top of the window frames? apparently the erratic flashing of lights from the randomly spinning CDs freaks birds out.

[Sandwich of Cheese]

Or you could walk around naked

[canuck]

I don't think birds recognise naked

[Sandwich of Cheese]

But they are easily scared

[Batwoman]

A cat usually works well - what is Possum up to?

[canuck]

But they are easily scared

I'd just be worried about you lurking outside then

[BFG]

I was going to combine SoC's naked suggestion with Battie's idea about the cat in a very prurient fashion.

But I decided not to...

[Aliya]

A naked cat?

[BFG]

A naked cat?

Something like that, yeah...

[canuck]

what good is a naked cat?
