    ive now get nests on 3 corners of the house in the gutter/eaves, this morning has tipped me, sat in garden sunbathing and one has **** on me....enoughs enough now, I’m fed up of **** on the decking daily and the little bleeders waking me up at 4.30 singing!!

    Will the RSPCA come and remove them or do I need some cats patrolling the loft???

    I’m all for nature but there doing my tits in now

    (The cats in the loft was a joke btw)

    My cat brought a small chick in yesterday teatime, she's never done that before.

    Tried to help it but it looked like one of it's legs were broken. It then tried to fly and fell into the drain!!! Had to then pull the grate up and fish it out. Put it in the conifers but 99% certain it was a goner :(

    Only thing to do is wait for them to move on then block the entrances so they can't get back in next year

    The usual way to move a Dickie Bird is to provide free hospitality somewhere down the road. Be off like a shot.

    We've got 3 nest boxes, a bird table, 2 bird feeders and a big stone we put scraps on. Apart from the odd pigeon, not a dicky.

    There's some thing wrong when a person does not like birds, I have swallows and house martins nesting in my out building they leave plenty of muck but it's great just to watch them.

    You might think im taking the **** but....Get yourself a imitation owl and fasten it near where they are nesting ...works the majority of the time... try it
