The Battle of the Birds

When I came home from work yesterday, Den complained about the large amount of bird poop on his truck. This morning, I looked out and saw a robin sitting on a rail and pecking at it. I yelled for Den and this was his solution to the problem.
Not only can you see the owl decoy...but unseen is a life sized cut out of a man lying in the bed. When Den came back from washing his truck, the robins returned, so that was his next attempt to scare them off. The final attempt involved the usage of a 22 rifle. It alone was successful. I love documenting this stuff...if he wasn't around my life would be so dull.

I think in Germany they call what these birds were having, a "shitfest"...
a term which, as I understand it, the Germans derived from their favorite muslim group, the Shiites.

I know that comment was you, Sniz! I love that all occurences with both you and animals always includes a gun. P.S. Nice job on the life size cutout- that's hilarious!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Is that the Medina pond owl? I like the perfectly spaced streaks of poo down the sides of the truck. Almost like the robins planned it that way...
