MrDuke April 28, 2005 Share MrDuke Member April 28, 2005 Ok, One day a couple of months ago, my wife said a bird keeps flying into our garage, sits on the tracks and makes a mess underneath. The bird is a pigeon and I think it's a homing pigeon because he's got some type of assembly on one of his legs. I chased him out of the garage thinking he was just trapped in there. It didn't work. Bird 1, Duke 0. I thought I was smart and I diligently kept the garage doors closed for about 2 weeks. As soon as I left the door open longer than 30 minutes, *poof*, there's the bird. Bird 2, Duke 0. I tried beating it with the closest thing I could find, a shovel. Bird 3, Duke 0, metal track -1, shovel -1. Grr. I borrowed Fatty's BB gun and we'll see who wins the next round. Pics and video to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duma April 28, 2005 Share duma Member April 28, 2005 (edited) LOL! I am in war with a bird too! This bird keeps trying to make a nest in my grill, and in the meantime, is making a mess all over the deck. So, round one begins: 1. I toss the beginning of nest from the grill - and burn the grill for an hour. Bird came back the very next day. Bird 1 duma 0 2. I repeat number one, but this time I make sure that the cover is replaced. The bird goes under the cover, and makes a nest. Bird 2 duma 0. 3. I talk to my mom, who tells me in would be a good idea to get a rubber snake and place it near the grill. That works for about a day, and than the bird makes a nest. B 3 - D 0 4. I now scream like a crazy person shooting water out of our kitchen sprayer whenever the bird lands on the deck. Bird just waits for me to leave Bird 4, duma 0. 5. My routine every day - until nesting is over - open grill, remove nesting stuff (I still dont know how the bird can get under the cover, hop up to a small whole, and make a nest), and BURN. My next step, after finals, is to sit on the deck with a bbgun. Dogs>cats>birds. Edited April 28, 2005 by duma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaM2 April 28, 2005 Share akaM2 Member April 28, 2005 I once had a bird in the garage, I closed the door, revved the engine for about 4-6 minutes then went inside, the next day he was dead btw this is true, I guess I was really mean to animals back in the day.

Fatty April 28, 2005 Share Fatty GC Founder April 28, 2005 That was my first suggestion to Duke. Those sabot pellets will damage that thing.....but you gotta go for a headshot. Hitting the body will be to easy and it'll involve too much suffering. One shot, one kill, duke. Git er done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazz April 28, 2005 Share Shazz Member April 28, 2005 LOL sorry fellas...this thread has me laughin. I don't think it is a homing pigeon. It might be tagged. And shooting a tagged bird is illegal. I would call the game warden about that bird. Don't want to see the bird winning while watching you go to jail..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugs April 29, 2005 Share TheBugs Member April 29, 2005 M2 took my idea. BB gun would be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazz April 29, 2005 Share Shazz Member April 29, 2005 ROFL... I am very sorry Duke!! I might have been a little strong on that last post. What people don't know...won't hurt em. I guess...right??

Kruten April 29, 2005 Share Kruten Member April 29, 2005 When we used to have some pigeons wewould tie a piece of string to it, go into town, let it loose, and it would be back later on in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZesteR April 29, 2005 Share ZesteR Member April 29, 2005 Hahaha, this is a very amusing post! If someone wanted the pigeon so bad, they'd be looking for it. And 2ndly... if the pigeon flew away and now lives in ur garage... obviously it doesnt want to go back to it's owner.. if it has one. This may sound mean but, if it's a problem to you, get rid of it how u want (take pics) your not going to kill the last one on Earth.

Ice_Berge_00 April 30, 2005 Share Ice_Berge_00 GC Alumni April 30, 2005 I suppose you *could* call animal control, but then they'd probably charge you an arm and legg just to remove it, then they'd probably charge you some fee for "containment" couldn't think of a better word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty April 30, 2005 Share Fatty GC Founder April 30, 2005 pump shottie time <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I offered it. Then I offered the .22 Slingslot would have been fun. He settled on the pellet gun. ..... Ok, shoot bird. Post up that you haven't seen it. Make new topic in private forums with pics and vid. Might create a quick rush of GC applicants. We could post up a "teaser" out here, perhaps with Duke fuzzed out, or the part right up to the shot.....then MEMBERS ONLY comes on the screen.

MrDuke April 30, 2005 Author Share MrDuke Member April 30, 2005 <With Mission Impossible music playing> In the wee hours of the morning, I left home and drove 1/2 mile into the woods and then army crawled back to my garage to scout my prey. He wasn't there...Hmmm...quite the crafty bird. I crawled back to my car slowly and quietly, realizing in mid-crawl that I forgot to leave the door open for him to get in...curses!!!! Lunk's comments have me worried about what happens if I miss. I must label it as collateral damage and it is perfectly acceptable...so long as the wife doesn't see it. I might just have to hire an avian assassin. No listing in the Yellow pages for avian assassins...curses!!!!!! (That's a hint for you local hunting types) More to follow...
