I'm at war

I know this isn't the right forum for this but
all spring the birds in my neighborhood have been going to town all over my truck

fold the mirrors in and they still **** running down the side of the mirror and the door, They all over the hood, even scratching the chrome over the front
hood,
I was lighting fireworks off trying to scare em away and still come back.
Now here's the funny part it's not the only vehicle in the drive way

Ohh, but the love mine,

I went to war with some squirlles in my yard that liked to sit on my batteries. It was costly at first as I was using arrows, old one that were not much good anymore. I then bought a pellet gun...

Would'nt work on the mirrors but for everything else, there's a guy around here who hooked a battery up to his truck frame, put a ground under a tire somehow, "shocking".

Owl that Hangs in a tree.

Get one of those Owls that hang in a tree or a rubber snake to just lay on your truck. Sounds crazy but it works.

I bought my neighbor a bird house and a large bag of food for his back porch. Hmmm, seems all the birds have left my yard for some reason.

Hey, I believe he suggested you to use a fake Owl. No wonder you had poop on the hood Don’t forget the rubber Snakes.

as Ghost mentioned a BB
Airguns of Arizona - Precision Air Rifles, Airgun, Pistols, Pellets

Scroll down on the left and pick "FX" - I have the whisper. At 40 yards I can shot a dime 3 out of 5 times. It also goes through 1" of plywood (I had a 3/4" at first and it was going through so I put 1/4" and it was just making it out the back).

If you want to see something crazy - check out the movie clips from their website
FX Airguns


Disclaimer: I am telling anyone that they should shoot an animal

I have a pellet pistol and shotgun but I'd rather not
I have shot the pellets at them and shot bottle rockets but those *******s
are relentless.

I think the owl may be working.
