I'm with you. Seagulls I can handle, dawn chorus doesn't even bother me but there is a bird nesting right beside my house whose call is similar to a fucking car alarm: two tone repetitive fucking alarm that sounds from at 4am - 6am every fucking day. Bastard fucking bird.

Is it you? Your name is mocking me Smile

I feel your pain!

I hate birds.

I can usually tolerate the kookaburras but that was before a few took up residence in the tree outside my bedroom window and decided that 5am is the time to start making a godawful racket.

chirpchirp · 31/05/2014 04:53

I've given up trying to get back to sleep and gone down stairs to clear the pile of ironing and watch Netflix and change my stupid username

Now that cats here maybe she can sort it out the problem!

I went and got in bed with dd so I could safely put earplugs in Grin

I swear they do it at my window on purpose, I have never heard them be so loud anywhere else. There are crows too. I'm going to scream back tomorrow.

You're complaining about birdsong Hmm

springbabydays · 31/05/2014 07:03

If your windows are any good they should kee.p the noise out. Failing that, use earplugs. It's annoying I agree but it's only for a short while during the summer. You can't blame the birds for doing what comes naturally. They're not deliberately trying to annoy you!

fatedtopretend · 31/05/2014 07:29

I can only put earplugs in if I am in dd's room and my windows are shite.

Crows shouting and seagulls screaming is not song, it is bird pisstaking.

I hate that coo-fucking-coo noise that bastard pigeons make.

Fuckers.

insanityscatching · 31/05/2014 07:32

They woke me too at 5am, really regretting not putting in the earplugs last night.

Macocious · 31/05/2014 07:37

Try white noise! Lots of free apps to be had for your phone. I feel your pain with the bloody seagulls.

Moln · 31/05/2014 07:47

Ah. Can you leave the wrens? I like wrens. Oh and the robins, they make me happy.

I pretty sure they keep quite too after witnessing the mass killing. Well unless there's one with strong leadersip skills who refuses to be controlled. Then you'll be in trouble.

drinkingtea · 31/05/2014 07:48

Seagulls and crows... ok, that's not song :o We have sparrows and assorted other similar hedgerow birds - there are hundreds of them, some nesting under the eves, but I quite like the noise they make...

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 31/05/2014 07:56

Magpies here, loads of the buggers.

Like a round of kalasnikovs going off Angry they must have a nest close by because any cat that gets on the fence is rounded on by a mass descend of black and white squawking harpies from the sky.

icanmakeyouicecream · 31/05/2014 07:56

I agree. Fucking bastards, I hate them. All.

That's because the know Euphemia, they sense you hatred. Soon you'll find one morning you'll open you curtains and they will be there, looking in. Just staring.

Idontseeanyicegiants · 31/05/2014 08:05

We currently have a family of blackbirds nesting in the eves right next to the girls room, it honestly sounds like there's a party going on in there it's awful and they wake the girls up all the time. As soon as the chicks have fledged we're getting it fixed. DH is convinced they hate him, everytime he walks up the path one of them shits near him! Grin

OHforDUCKScake · 31/05/2014 08:06

Yup they woke us this morning too.

Bastards.

hamptoncourt · 31/05/2014 08:09

YANBU

I have a flat roof above my head and the bastard seagulls play fucking football up there from about 5am.

LtEveDallas · 31/05/2014 08:09

I'd rather have the birds than the bloody bird scarer the local farmer has going off round here. Woke up thinking I was under attack many a time.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 31/05/2014 08:11

You lot HAVE seen The Birds haven't you? They are just biding their time...
