LOL! I love that idea since I cannot stand cats that have a free ticket to piss and poop anywhere they want.

Any remedy for Starlings or black birds? I have way to many that love my trees. I send bottle rockets up in the evening but those little buggers start squawking and call in their friends.......I feel like thay are making fun of me.

Use a pellet gun and kill one or two and leave them lying there. Same for crows. The rest won't be so eager to come around for some reason. LOL Sweetie Pie taught me that. For some reason cats won't eat those things. I've been doing target practice on them for years and it works at my house.

Let me clarify something before someone faints. I failed to say, "Use a pellet gun to kill one or two BLACKBIRDS." I went back and reread my post and it sounded like I could have been talking about cats. lol

These dang blackbirds are leaving a mess on my driveway and cars I'm gonna have to drop a few and hope they die up in the trees.

Don't know whether you have noticed or not but blackbirds seem to have a "scout/leader" of sorts. It's always a big male (I know you're not going to check for his sex); he will be a larger than the rest and appears to be braver and more stubborn than the flock. He squawks louder and they seem to follow him. If you can kill him, you will create a commotion with the flock and they will leave for several days.

Catch a time when the tree is full of them, just before dark, and turn loose a load of squirrel shot and kill about a dozen. lol

When we were children, didn't we sing a song about "Blackbird Pie?" See if you can find your old recipe. lol
