Bill and I know it well and we have taken steps to stop the little twitters from waking us up in the morning. They used to love to sit in the bushes right in front of our window so Bill put bird netting on them so they couldn't sit on the branches anymore. That was great.<BR/><BR/>Then they sat on the three inch brick wall right at our window. After being wakened one too many times just like you described, Bill nailed many nails (and I mean many) to a couple of boards and then put the board on the ledge of the brick wall with all the nails sticking upwards. Like the old bed of nails trick. The sparrows can't sit on a point like that so we have effectively shooed away the little buggers and sleep peacefully once more.<BR/><BR/>Either that or move your bedroom to your dining room...Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16259722861946381805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-50159936042239779772008-05-01T11:46:00.000-07:002008-05-01T11:46:00.000-07:00Well firefox said I had to install plug in's to have a listen over at that site. So if I really want to I'll have to open IE. :-)<BR/><BR/>How would you like to have Chandler? He'll meow in his little squeak at 4 a.m. every morning for you. I don't think his hyperthyroid medicine is working.Bonniehttp://mizbee.netnoreply@blogger.com
