The bane of my existance
For the past two months, my sleep has been interrupted.
This bird has been sitting outside our house and singing all fucking night long. Well, not exactly THAT bird. It's a fair approximation. It's some form of mockingbird. Click on the video below, and you'll be able to hear what I do every single damned night.
I swear, I am going to kill it. It's nice when you're awake, and you're hearing it from a distance. Unfortunately for my family, it's a loud fucking bird, and that light pole you see is about 15 feet from my daughters' windows. Even in the back of my house, I can hear this bird at full volume.
How does one eradicate a mockingbird? I'm really tired of the car alarm tweet (I really had no idea that it was copying a car alarm until a coworker mentioned it). If I don't get rid of it soon, I may just do something rash. And I can't afford something rash.

It's nature. You are probably going to have to live with it. Unfortunately.
PS - Like I did with "bear" and "beer", I believe it is "bane" not "bain". Oh, sweet irony! ;)
borrow a friends pellet gun
Yup - you're right Earl. I just noticed that when I logged on. That's what happens when I post at night.
I'll fix it right away.
:-)
a paintball gun might do the trick! :)
p.s. my word verification just now was "retad".
are you crafily trying to tell me something?
Yet something rash is exactly what the situation calls for! Think EXTREME. That's the only thing that'll work.
Unfortunately, that light pole is directly over where my neighbor parks. The neighbor I actually LIKE. So, paintball is out. So are rocks, which is what I was thinking in the first place. I was also thinking birdshot, but I think the cops would take issue with the shotgun being fired in a residential neighborhood.
Oooooh! How about I put my cat in a very big slingshot???
:-D
scoped pellet gun
Your Wheatland, CA beer profile is up. But I couldn't find any breweries near you, so I picked San Fran. Whatareyagonnado?
Nasty lil creatures! Turn to your great hunter...LOWK Have him get some bow practice. Exploding Tips should do!
