PrincessMommy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm glad that winter is over, really I am.... but I sure wish the birds outside my window would wait an extra hour (or 2!!) before starting their day. Once again, I've been up since 5am (still dark outside then little birdies!). It's been going on for about 2 weeks. I can't take that much happiness & noise at such an hour. :glare: I just want a normal night of sleep with those extra 2hours back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just look at them as nature's alarm clock. those birds just know that it s going to be a great day and cannot understand your lack of enthusiasm to get up at daybreak and join in the fun! Actually I saw something on a David Attenborough documentary about how birds exchange the local news in their dawn chatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingiguana Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Our robins get up at 4AM. But they've been quiet today. I guess half a foot of snow shuts them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I hear you, as soon as it's nice enough to open the windows the happy little blighters start pre-dawn don't they? Once it is hot and we get the fan going at night I don't hear them as much but for now, sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Remember that episode of Friends where Phoebe's boyfriend shoots the bird that is chirping? At 4:30 am I always think fondly back to that episode :lol: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Remember that episode of Friends where Phoebe's boyfriend shoots the bird that is chirping? At 4:30 am I always think fondly back to that episode :lol: . No, I never saw that, but that is hilarious! At a previous house our neighbor had a BIG bradford pear outside their front door. Apparently one of their college-aged sons had a bedroom on the front. Every morning in the spring I'd notice frizzbies, shoes and other articles at the foot of the tree. I finally discovered it was the son throwing these things out his window at the tree to shut the birds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticmom Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I have a confused hen that crows so I don't hear songbirds in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 One spring morning at about 5:30 I heard my neighbor slam open his window and shout, "She's not interested, you little moron! Shut! UP!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 My dh said, "Two words, buck shot." He is sort of kidding. We used to live in a very rural area and these squirrels would be outside chattering away all hours and drive him crazy. He would shoot at the sky (not harming any animals) to scare them away long enough to get some peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myeightkiddies Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We have an issue with birds and noise. Of course ours is about fifty extremely chatty Canada Geese in our backyard at 3am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghee Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I once swore that my next house would have no "*#^%ing trees for those %#@$ing birds to be in". I can do a random chirp very once in a while, but blathering birds at the crack of dawn just make me want to scream. Put it this way, no one will ever mistake me for Snow White with birds singing and flocking to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspasia Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Remember that episode of Friends where Phoebe's boyfriend shoots the bird that is chirping? At 4:30 am I always think fondly back to that episode :lol: . I laugh about this every blasted morning when our resident cardinal perches in the tree right outside our window and puts on a show. Dh and I keep joking that it's a good thing we don't have any guns in our house. I hate that bird, but I kinda love him, too. He does have a really pretty song...dh doesn't agree.
