Botheration!This is where they winter. It migrated to here.
What do songbirds eat?Yesterday really shocked me out of shall we say, my depression, over the losses. I need to take some kind of action. I am actively trying to develop a reasonable response now that I know what I'm dealing with.
I am sort of afraid that there may be no reasonable solution but I need to do something. I am taking all of the bird feeders down as a starter. I had let them run out of seed but now I'm taking them down and putting them away. This breaks my heart a little because I had them years before I had chickens and I had cultured an amazing variety of song birds who visited my yard and sang to me.
High pressure water hose?I spoke with the game commission. They informed me that I may not harm it in any way. They do not trap and relocate them. They suggested the following:
They gave me the phone number for the USDA saying they might have some other ideas.
- Get a rooster. (If only)
- Get a Turkey or a Goose. They will beat up a Coopers Hawk and are apparently very fond of chickens. Who knew?
- Hang shiny metal disks, CDs
- Netting
- Keep them in an enclosed space with a covered run. ✔
It's starting to feel like the nerf gun is going to be my best tool.
Sorry to say it, but that seems like a very reasonable and wise step.Yesterday really shocked me out of shall we say, my depression, over the losses. I need to take some kind of action. I am actively trying to develop a reasonable response now that I know what I'm dealing with.

Yeah… highly unlikely there are zero hawks ANYWHERE in California.I find it hard to believe there are no hawks. @micstrachan has hawks........
Stunning!!!
I seem to remember someone saying you could plug up mouse holes with steel wool. (probably not the kind with soap in it though. They may eat the soap...)I had to risk put food out for them as I can't jump out of bed so easily, so I put peppermint in the areas they get in
Would anyone know if chickens will pack aluminium?
I can't quite tell if she is fishing or tightrope walking...In case anyone was curious why she was pulled in...View attachment 2920565
Without a permit!
I go away for a long weekend and the family misbehaves.
