    Just had a mail from a mate who's trying to coax birds to his garden but he's got a cats coming in. Never had the problem myself so I wouldn't know where to start.</p>

    worked for us.  We moved into a house that had been empty for several months and the local cats thought the back garden was theirs.   Then we came along with a black lab.  The rest is history.  He lets birds in too.

    Chilli powder.

    The fckers dunt like that.</p>



    If you catch one, tie it to something sturdy, and light a fire round it so it endures a slow agonising death as a warning to its crapping meowing mates to keep the fck off.</p>

    Because, like all domestic animals, they are dirty, shitting bas-tards.</p>

    That should do it.</p>

    They crap in your flower beds

    And are vermin. Scum vermin. How and why they are tolerated as pets is beyond me. The vilest of God's creations. Except for Kevin Muscat. And even he's got their name as part of his.

    it's just natural selection-they generally catch the weak or ill ones-so ensuring a strong blood line for the bird species

    RE: get a dog

    My oldest, you remember the one, likeable face but her nose gets into regions of your trousers that were hitherto inaccessible. She's got into the habit of scragging nests from the hedge down the side of the garden, pulling out the fledglings and either playing with, or eating them.
    Lots of red kites around at the murrment.

    They're just too intelligent for you

    You stick to slobbering dogs. There's a good lad.

    that's if they are being fed-they then regard it as a present-you should feel honoured
