Anyways to get birds from waking me up every morning? There is a row of bushes right outside my window dividing ours and the neighbors house. Every morning and night it sounds like 100's of birds chirping away. I put an owl out there and it blew over and broke but that didn't even work. Any other suggestions mamas?
Do I put the snake in the bushes? They are really tall and i couldn't reach. The sprinkler would hit the neighbors house and i would love to shoot them but I can't.
How about a stuffed or plastic real looking cat? A rubber snake might work too!
Edit: Just get 2 or 3 and throw them up in the bushes. Worry about how to get them out later.
Shoot um!! (Said in my cajun voice) lol
Look into the distance...are there a bunch of pigs inside of ramshackle battlements, taunting your birds? Because if so, you might not just have loud birds...you might have Angry Birds!
Install a sprinkler around and have it go off about dawn... might be enough to shoo the birds away without actually hurting them.
Hang some disposable tin pie pans around. The movement will discourage them from sitting nearby.
By a cheap box fan to provide white noise in your room and drown out their chirps???

Do you have a BB gun? I'm kidding... but I feel your pain. I was just thinking of how obnoxious and annoying the damn woodpecker is drilling into my neighbors gutters. Make it stop!!
See me, I love the sound of the birds chirping outside my bedroom window in the morning. I live in suburbia, and one of the reasons I love my little street is because it far enough way from trains and planes that I can actually hear the birds, and the frogs, and the cicadas, and the......
White noise inside your room will block some of the bird noise. Also, if they are nesting in the bushes, try birdhouses located away from the bushes to lure them into new homes.
Some birds are naturally scared of other birds - figure out what kind of bird is hanging out in the bushes, and look up who are the "natural" bird threats. Try placing statues of that bird in and around the bushes. Although, in my yard, even the blue jays don't scare the other birds away. LOL
Cut the bushes back? Shorter, thinner, to make them less attractive as a nesting place.
Or, just begin to listen to their song as a lullaby and let it soothe you back to sleep.
Good Luck
God Bless
Get an air filter to reduce dust and provide white noise at the same time.
Some people used to use aluminum pie plates hung on a string or a thin clothes line instead of a scarecrow. They move easily in the wind and sometimes create enough of a visual disturbance. But if it's visible from the front of the house, it might not be too attractive. Maybe a wind sock sort of decoration? However, if the birds have nested in the bushes or have good coverage, they may get used to it and still feel safe.
Get rid of the bushes?
oh yes, they are my alarm clock in the spring and summer...they start squawking outside our windows around 2:30 am. Does not help to close the windows (we do not have A/C.)
Do what my oldest son does, yells out the window and tells them to shut the “bleep” up or he uses his blow horn to scare them away (caution neighbors will be startled and not happy with you)
One of the colleges here sets off fireworks to scare the crows so that they will roost somewhere else. They do it every evening for about two weeks, don't know if you are allowed to do that or not. It doesn't hurt the birds and is not near the birds, just discourages.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA to Angela C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you could do is call animal control to see if they can come by and move any nests that were built. More than likely there is a nest there. I used to live up in a very wooded area. I called it the bird mating house. Baby birds where EVERYWHERE!
I would call animal control and ask what they would suggest if they can't move the nest.
