It started with just one bird, a few months ago. That I could handle.
But soon it was two, three, ten... and now there's a whole flock of birds living in the crepe myrtles outside my bedroom window. And for reasons I cannot fathom, they sing all. Night. Long.
I have no idea what kind of birds these are, but I suspect we have more than one feather flocking together, because there are so many different calls:
First, we have the nostalgic Telephone Bird, who sounds exactly like a pre-digital telephone ring.
There's also a Cool Dude Bird, who is always pronouncing something "Swwweeeeeeeeeeeet!"
The FedEx Bird is constantly urging, "Hurryup, hurryup, hurryup -- chop-chop!"
And the Domino Bird calls to order a "Piiiiiizza, piiiiiizza, piiiiiizza."
I have nothing at all against birds. On the other side of the house, I even installed a birdfeeder. In daytime, I find birdsong absolutely delightful. But for the luvvagod, why do they sing at night? AUGH!
Any ideas? Any suggestions (that don't involve weaponry)? I'm at my wit's end here, and on top of everything else, I saw a news story tonight that said lack of sleep can cause you to gain weight! THIS I DO NOT NEED!
Help?
