MrsMork said:We had this silly bird last summer that would come and peck on DGS's bedroom window every morning. He hated that bird because he is a teenager and loves to sleep in. Well, guess what!! I heard the little bugger pecking again this morning!
It is loud enough that I can hear it with DGS's door shut across the hall from the computer room.
He started in around 8 am that I heard.
We hvae the doves some days but now that the ac is on, I don't hear them as much.

I can just picture the email she sends DH today. I am laughing so hard. DD12 wants to know what is so funny and I tried to explain that she wouldn't understand. 
But she insisted on seeing for herself and read a post. 
"ok mom, real funny." I tried to tell her! That would be a good idea if we did not live in the county we live in. Just last month they arrested - yes ARRESTED - a 13 yo boy for killing a snake he found that was already injured. His parents told him they were not taking a snake to the vet and to just take it outside and put it out of its misery. A couple of neighbor girls saw him kill it (smashed its head), told their daddy who called the police, who arrested him and our local District Attorney charged him with FELONY animal abuse.lbgraves said:I think that I would have to invest in a bb gun or maybe some kind of more gentle bird killer. Sorry...but that would drive me nuts!!!
It took his parents and the attorney they had to hire over 30 days to get the charges dropped. 30 days of incredible stress for the child and parents. 
Of course the letters to the editor of the local newspaper are coming in since it hit the paper. Are we at risk of arrest for killing the moles and gophers that are tearing up our yard? I am sure they would not look kindly on shooting a bird for pecking my window. Really crazy we think.pjpoohbear said:A while! I was on last night after 10 pm, reading, and now there are 6 new pages,

He seemed to have been just trying to put the poor thing out of its misery.pyramid2000 said:We had a bird here a few years ago that would run into the window over and over and over again all morning, everyday in the summer!
I hate bird snot!! Nope, did not listen and I think that is what has everyone so upset. The officer didn't listen to the parents who tried to tell him that the snake was injured and they told son to kill it to be merciful.pyramid2000 said:I'm wondering if they thought he might be one to grow up to be a serial killer or something. You know what they say about kids who hurt small animals!! Geez,,,didn't they take the time to listen to the story??
