Grrr....stupid robins!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, so we have this family of robins who built a nest on our electric meter. It's about 6-7 feet from our back door, the one we use the most. Most of the time the mother bird and the father bird would just ignore us as we went in and out of the door, but now those $%&#@ birds have taken to dive bombing us. We go nowhere near their stupid nest and yet they do that. We can't even walk out our back door anymore. Every other robin family that has built a nest there has been nice, but this bitch bird...

I HATE BIRDS.

I'm sorry. That sounds horrible. However, it is one of the funniest things I've heard all day. Thanks

Carry metal garbage can lids with you. Hold them up and BAM! Flat-nosed robin.

Mr. Shy Guy · 06-19-2002, 10:53 PM

That does suck though.

Kay Scarpetta · 06-19-2002, 10:56 PM

sorry, but that's awful funny.

Why don't you try and shoot them with a tranquilizing gun?

Ooo, good plan! But I don't have any.

And if I tried shooting them with any kind of gun, I'd probably hit the neighbor's kid. Picture that.

LOL...no offence but that's funny.

lol- I'm sorry about the birds dawsongirl. Until recently, I had one of those rain frogs right outside my house and whenever it ribbit, it sounded just like a duck. I swear. I think that little froggie moved on. Hope the birds move for you too, dawsongirl.

I'm sorry about your robin family, but that IS really funny.

Squakin' SOB birds! lol-- My friend put a window in on her house. It was near a tree that the birds happen to hang out in. The birds were confused by their reflection in the window and dive bombed themselves all day long. One was especially obsessed with the battle. My friend taped a couple of those silvery strips that they put on grape vines and fruit trees for the purpose of scareing the birds off. It worked. You could either tape some of those near the door, or to yourself, wear them like earrings or hair ribbons whenever you step out the door. If that's not enough, come out of your door with spuirt guns a blarin' from both hands for good measure.

LOL! Sorry for your problem. I have something sorta like that. There is a family of house sparrows outside my window. I could kill them! Every SUNDAY morning; squak! squak!
