To kill the owl babies?

[Serin]

I've been on the go since 6am.
There are 3 of the cute little buggers, sat on the corner of our bedroom (dormer) window, cheeping away.
About once every 40 mins their DM brings them something to eat and they turn up the cheeping to full on party mode. It's like trying to sleep with a load of satanic chickens in the room.
AIBU to get the air rifle and shoot them dead? I could have them stuffed to make cute Christmas decorations or something, could send them to Chris Packham as a warning to other owls.

My toe hurts, Betty! My toe hurts, Betty!’

Aaargh! Why would you say that?

Reported 🤣

There is a magpie (I think?) that sits in the tree outside my bedroom and squawks at 6am every morning. MAH-HA-HA... MAH-HA-HA... over and over again

I wouldn't mind so much but it sounds like the bastard thing is laughing at me.

I was driving through country lanes late at night and was stalked by an owl

Twice I had to break

Be warned op they are not animals to mess with

And have the cutest babies too (along with hedgehogs, rabbits, cats, dogs, pigs, hippos, foxes)

I’ll swap you for the bastard seagulls that woke me up at 4. Wankers. Or the blackbirds that were having a full on row during dinner in the garden this week. Also wankers.

Pics please :)
Also invest in some v good earplugs my sleep has been transformed by some £30 from flair audio, they even drown out snoring 💤

interesting fact
baby wood pigeons are called Squeakers

swap the owls for pigeons? The same pigeons have been coming back for years now We blocked off all access and the buggers broke in again.
once these chicks we got now flee the nest we will be blocking everything up again.

Pigeons are worse OP. They start at dawn 😭

Also a month ago a baby sparrow flew into the bedroom and panicked. The next day another one flew slap bang into the window. Also seagulls. Oh look... Another plane overhead.

I've got a headache

I feel so guilty for laughing at this

Yes last week we were in a caravan on the coast and was woken by Seagulls on the roof. Thought we were being broken in to...

Who knew that owls had such long legs?

And we have shagging (literally) hedgehogs - they huff and puff so loudly they even woke up normally comatose teenage DS. They sound like rusty saw blades going through logs.

We have a gigolo jackdaw in our chimney. Three nights I've perched on the chimney pot with a bazooka but no, Jimmy shags on with impunity.

The spindly legs. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Can you also take the screeching child out that’s in the garden from 8am every day having something sort of steaming competition

We have parakeets until the sun goes down who tag team with the foxes.
DH did get up at 2am one day to chase away the fox that was sitting on the roof of a neighbours car screeching away.
We live in London.

I'll swap your owl babies for the residents in the tree in my garden....it's like kicking out time at Wetherspoons at the moment. Those little robins are feisty buggers when they want to be.

Wax earplugs are great

Oh dear god, yes!

We also had crows v Fox the other day. Plus a fox sat outside our glass back door tormenting the dog the other night. Bastard!

We have robins. They are lovely

We used to have baby birds outside our bedroom window. In the evening and very early hours, they’d go nuts...we’d joke it sounded like a few hundred squeaky dog toys having a party. Oh god, once you focused on it, there was no sleeping. I feel your pain.

But...

Baby owls! Sooooooo cute. Sorry, you just have to put up with it.

Ours saw off a pheasant that was casually strutting about with not a care in the world. The poor thing was dive bombed out of nowhere. i swear those robins were laughing as the pheasant ran for it's life.

That picture is . . . disturbing . . .
