There is a simpler solution. We have a barking beagle here who loves to chase cats and birds. All we have to say is "get the birdy" and he will scare them out of our yard. It is really fun to watch by the way. In the summer, he is also called the "bug patrol" because he likes to kill cockroaches. Debbie

When all else fails...

I borrow a friends old 327 Chevy, loosen the distributor cap and retard the timing until it begins to backfire. Then I retrieve the 12 guage from behind the seat of my truck and rev the engine! ;) For some reason I feel compelled to type "Just kidding" right here.

Hi Wayne,

It would probably take care of the birds but it would also require the building of that new observatory that Michael spoke about. <g> So, it would probably get the -wife- veto.
