Corp000085 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Over the past week, I've had a group of 2-3 mockingbirds take up residence in a bush at the corner of my driveway. They are notoriously territorial and will even attack humans if they are a perceived threat. With that said, I'm public enemy #1 to them. Besides killing them or re landscaping, anyone got any suggestions to ward them away or at least stop the dive-bombs? On a side note, these birds set up in military like positions using roof peaks and a streetlight. They're actually rather interesting creatures if not really annoying!

Cugalabanza Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think the next step is for you to buy a diamond ring. That should help, at least until it turns brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well it turns out if I cut the yard, lay down fertilizer and big poison throughout the yard with an aggressive posture, lots of yelling and stomping my feet, they will leave you alone.

After that your neighbors would probably leave you alone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
