To think DH should accept that this post was about him?

Bird has been chirping loudly outside of our bedroom window at the same time past few days. Sounds like an owl as it’s so loud. Yesterday it woke me up at 5.30am and same time today. Today I managed to get back to sleep only to be awoken by DH standing st the bedroom window stark bollock naked screaming and shouting. I told him to stop it as it would disturb the neighbours (it was only 6.30am) and he shouted that the bird had woken him up again on his only day off.
I got up at 8.30 and went on Facebook. Our area has its own Facebook page and there was a post on there about the nutter screaming and shouting at 6.30am. It must have been about DH as the times and words were identical! It had loads of replies, all angry etc saying they’d heard it too and it had woken children etc. I told him when he got up and he’s insisting that it wasn’t about him but was probably about the yobs that have been causing trouble but the wording was identical to what he was shouting!! AIBU to think it’s abdolutely obvious that the post was about him and he should recognise that??

TBF back at my mum's house, there was a night bird that sounded like the bastarding love child between an owl and a squeaky door and it only made that specific noise.

MTT can't you use a water gun or similar?

I have recently discovered that woodpeckers make the most godawful screeching noise chatter all day and have come close to telling obscenities onto the ether too. I wouldn't strip off to do it though.

TheWomanin12B · 25/03/2019 00:11

*yelling obscenities into (ffs)

Lizzie48 · 25/03/2019 00:13

I'm now picturing your husband as John Cleese. Am I close?

Me too. Or maybe Victor Meldrew? I can imagine him saying, 'I don't believe it! That bird won't do as I say.'

Seriously, what a wally! Of course the post was about him! Grin

SimonitesSocks · 25/03/2019 06:16

Hahaha Grin

Lellow, you also need to post that you were woken up by the shouting (which is true anyway!). People are going to start trying to narrow down which house it was coming from and anyone who hasn't complained about it could be in the running as the guilty party!

Tink2007 · 25/03/2019 06:39

Best post ever.

KathyS901 · 25/03/2019 07:06

This made me laugh so much! Grin

MrsJDornan · 25/03/2019 08:02

Has your husband and his bird antics made it onto the parody page yet? Grin

LucyAutumn · 25/03/2019 08:07

This is hilarious Grin

FloofyDoof · 25/03/2019 08:08

I bet it was a wood pigeon, they're shouty bastards.

MustStopSnacking28 · 25/03/2019 08:11

This has cracked me up 😂 shouting with his nob out!

I would get a white voice machine, drowns out most stuff!

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 25/03/2019 08:14

Thank you! This thread will make me happy all day! 😂

NameChangeNugget · 25/03/2019 08:16

An absolutely brilliant post. 👏🏽

This will be in classics soon

labazsisgoingmad · 25/03/2019 08:26

poor bird leave him alone

LellowYedbetter · 25/03/2019 09:13

It’s not on the parody page yet, I’m considering sending them a message asking them to cover it 😂

Crying with laughter here. I think we might be married to the same husband!

I am not sure why mine thinks telling the birds off will have any effect! He doesn't like it when I point that out. (To be fair he doesn't shout but goes to the window and rants at them: "Tweet, tweet, bloody tweet, why can't you shut up?")

Once we were on holiday in Morocco and he went to reception to complain that the "birds tweeted too loudly in the morning" and was indignant when me and DS laughed at him. I'm not sure what he expected, maybe that they'd contact the Chief Bird Maker and ask him to switch them off!

LellowYedbetter · 25/03/2019 09:27

It’s ridiculous isn’t it? I mean, I agree that they’re annoying but so are yapping dogs!

In other news the bird hasn’t been back this morning. Perhaps he’s decided to move on to a more desirable neighbourhood

I remember there is a scene in Mary Poppins where Mr Banks complains about a bird tweeting and tells the maid Ellen to make the bird shut up, as it's giving him a headache. Ellen goes to the window and says to the bird, 'Be quiet, you're giving the master a headache.'

Is your DH's name George Banks by any chance??? 🤣

Glittertwins · 25/03/2019 09:47

We have line dancing pigeons on our loft roof but the most I've ever done is fired them off the Velux window by suddenly opening them!

Hahaha please update when the parody page gets a hold of this!

When DH was little (3 or 4yo) he used to love running around the garden in the nud during the summer months. Apparently his mum used to shout "put some pants on or a bird'll eat it [your willy]!" from the house at him, to no avail. Maybe you could try the same tact with your DH? Grin

Oldraver · 25/03/2019 18:12

To the poster with the owl hooting husband.

Have you heard a female owl... screechy doesn't cover it

Itssosunny · 25/03/2019 18:15

The neighbours probably thought that someone's DH came home very late and drink and was told off. And then of course he started shouting at you to shut the fuck up because he wanted to sleep. Grin
