I think I could make this a profession...

Some stupid woodpecker was hacking at the wall outside this computer room. I opened the window and said, "KRAAA!" It stopped for about fifteen seconds then kept tapping.

I let out this screech like a hawk and the thing flew away into the trees, looking like it ought to be saying "OH my GOD! AAAH!"

Heehee... humane pest removal!

(I'll note he would have hit wires and electrocuted itself if he kept tapping.)

So now our local woodpecker's going back to the trees in the dog's yard... I oughta make that a profession. Would probably work with mice too, you just play a tape taken next to some eagle's nest all day and they leave!

By the way... I love that woodpecker, he sounds like my cat purring when he sings. <3

Woah now that's a skill worth having! Wish you were around at the time that squirrel attacked me...

Ah the squirrel attack. The demoninic squirrel who attacks random PPT'ers.

I've never even seen a woodpecker. In real life that is. Heh, I can do an impression of a peacock. My friend Jessica said, "I don't know which is more disturbing, your impression or the real sound." We really should start a business. The Pay Us Money So We Can Make Bird Sounds To Scare Off Other Various Birds Inc.

I could use you to remove that pesky family of 4 raccoons that keep hanging around my house. :P They ate all of our (outdoor) pet fish!

Haha, a squirrel once laughed at my dog :P

Peacock sounds are SCARY. Really, really scary...

Raccoons? Noo, I'm afraid I'd have to learn to imitate the Wild Tractor to scare them, and it might not work... intrepid fluffy thieves, they are.

Once I chatted with some bird via a squaky toy of my dog's that sounded just like it... that was really funny, it wouldn't shut up and Wolfie started bouncing around like... well, a hyperactive dog! Think I accidentally insulted its mother, though, it just gave an angry squeak and shut up.

squirrels are cool.
well, not those evil greys (aliens i tells ya!) but the native reds.
so rare, so few, so cool.
and pigeons.
stupid things, atleast were about yay ___ far from being aloud to kill the things legally.

Maybe you could try that trick with the BIRD THAT CHIRPS NONSTOP AT MIDNIGHT BY MY BEDROOM WINDOW!! If I'm not asleep by 11, I won't get any sleep whatsoever, since this idiotic bird seems determined to find a mate or whatever at midnight every single night, right in the tree by by bedroom!

If the hawk screech doesn't work, I'll throw a shoe at it.

Birds don't come to my house anymore. IN fact, there are no birds in the park near our house, or at the blocks near it.

I think it may have something to do with the fact me n 2 of my friends from my neighbor hood go shooting random animals with BB guns alot. :evil:

My sniper goes 1040 FPS(VERY PAINFUL) My shotgun goes at 240 Fps(Not as painful, like a flick)

being assaulted by about a kajillion pigeons, and then having the... "pigeon lady" shout at me when i tried to kick some of them?
(i missed by the way, typical, i can kick the bin on the corridor down to the computer room at college daily, but i cant hit a pigeon thats not looking at me?!)

oh, and im never asleep by 11 unless somthings wrong, on a good day i wont sleep until atleast midnight.
youve never had insomnia until you average day you get to sleep at 1am.
or been awake for nearly a week (six days is my "record")
though i suppose that explains the erratic behaviour and the anger management issues i guesstimate

Ouch..... well what about that BIRD THAT FLEW OFF WITH MY FLEXI-STRING BALL WHEN I HAD IT STUCK IN A TREE FOR 3 YEARS?? I was going for my 5-year record! Now I have to start all over again!!!

thats why i have an elastic band ball.
no errant pteradactyl wannabees gonna be messing that up.

Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:03 am

The ball I meant is like this: ()------------(__)
The small hole is the thing you slip onto your finger. I got it stuck on a branch and the string miraculously formed into a square knot. It was cool, till the color from the ball(it was red) got washed away with the rain and turned black.

Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:05 am

..oh.. thats kinda cool i guess.
but not elastic band made from about 200 of them that ive stolen over the last few months cool.

Thu Jan 27, 2005 12:09 am

Oh...those?

I did something similar...it was hairbands. I ended up using it to hold my needle while I bead on my loom.

Beading is fun. I can make a bracelet a day.
