How do I get rid of a wattle bird that wakes me every morning??He sits in a tree outside my window?

Question

I tried putting a fake snake in the tree, cutting back the native plants it feeds on still doesnt work, it is driving me nuts.I just want to sleep in!!

Answer 1

I've heard that getting pie pans, the little cheap silver shiny ones, and hanging them in the tree scares them away. I'm not sure if it works, but it's worth a shot!

Answer 2

Try squirting it with a squirt gun filled with water. This might deter it from hanging around. You have made his day by reacting to his squaking.... he knows he gets this reaction by being loud everyday at that same time, now you have to change that behavior, and hopefully the water gun will do the trick. Please do not let someone harm this innocent bird,, he thinks he is entertaining you each morning, he's really done nothing wrong.

Answer 3

Is it male? Just tell it you want to take this relationship to the next level and get serious in a commitment. He should take off fast enough to loose feathers from the power flapping.

Answer 4

Maye he's a messenger sent from God, or worse yet, may he was sent by your boss to tell you to get your lazy butt out of bed. Seriously though, the bird is trying to get someones attention, maybe there's a nest close by.

Answer 5

I awaken earlier the birds. between the little chuffed indulgences of my morning is to hearken to their music at first gentle and watch them flock to the vast tree on the backside of my backyard.

Answer 6

It probbly has a nest by your home. Call animal control???
Or remove the nest with a stick?

Answer 7

cut the tree down!

Answer 8

20 ga. shotgun. One shell. Problem solved for good.

Answer 9

Just leave it be and wear ear plugs, it is just nature.

Answer 10

slingshot.

O.G. style.

after a few shots I think he'll get the message.
