4 am I'm at work. :awe:

 

[balloonshark]

They say those are the ones that get the worm.

 

[sportage]

Its nesting time. Give the little feathered friend a break.

 

[rcpratt]

I like it

 

[gorcorps]

shoot em?

 

[stargazr]

Ear plugs?

 

[Anubis]

stop sleeping in a tent?

They're happy. They're warm again, and probably either finding food or mating.

I'm sorry you can't sympathize.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Stupid freaking people and their sleep.

 

[mmntech]

It's mating season.

Try taking a honey moon and having FUCKING CHJICKENS WAKE YOU UP every god damn morning that early.

You will have urges and attempts to kick the living shit out of the chickens. Most I got was a direct hit with a decent sized rock... but that seriously wasn't enough to satisfy....

Move your clock ahead 2 hours - problem solved

Your attempts at revenge lack creativity.

nothing quite like seeing the sun come up and hearing the birds chirp while you're getting ready for work. it sure as hell beats being bitterly cold and dark and snowy. stop being a bitter old man

 

[MiniDoom]

We can do away with daylight savings time so they start chirping at 3am...

The best is when the Flickers hit your chimney (or gutters), like a drive by shooting at 6am.

I have an idiot woodpecker that goes to town on the metal part of my chimney at ungodly hours. Sounds like someone's playing a steel drum on my roof.

Same, but you can't shoot them with a BB gun as they are protected..

I'm torn. I don't know which sound I love more in the spring - the 10's of 1000's of peepers in the late evening, with their (very) loud chorus? Or the song birds first thing in the morning. Either way, regardless of the temperature at night, my bedroom window is open so I can hear both.

If a woodpecker is going to town on the metal part of your chimney, and all you can do is complain about it, rather than wonder *why* is it going to town on the metal part of your chimney, then the woodpecker's not the idiot. Perhaps you have a bunch of bugs in the flashing of the chimney - perhaps there's a leak. Perhaps you have a problem, the wood pecker knows you have a problem, but to the wood pecker, it's lunch.

Psh, goodluck catching those fuckers. It's hard as shit.

It's possible you're correct that there's an issue with my chimney. However it's also possible that it just sees it's reflection and is pecking at the other woodpecker because it's an idiot.

I'm thinking about putting one of those fake owls up there to see if that gets rid of it.

Proper tool for the job bro.

With the woodpeckers, this behavior is courting behavior. It's always a male showing off. It is a real PITA.

I have an idiot flicker who roosts every year for a few nights in the carport. We go out to go to work in the early morning, startle him, and he scares the crap out of us. It is like the helicopter scene from Apocalypse Now explodes over your head.
