Damn Bird!
 

This Dove lost its mate to a damn cat, and now it thinks it has found another in the reflection of the windshield. My 3 gets washed everyday now.

You'll shoot you're eye out, kid!

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Well why do you have a reflection of a bird on your windshield anyways?! Take it off and maybe the bird won't come around anymore.

Re: Damn Bird!
 

LOL ... good one, Dei. (poor bird)

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Aw, that is so sweet.:D:):D

Don't kill him, k?:(

Re: Damn Bird!
 

I won't the pair have been outside my house for 2 years, Now that some cat killed the one.. well, .......

Re: Damn Bird!
 

I'm surprised you only got the pair, after I get one I usally get at least a dozen more before the year is out. Course I got an acre of spruce and cedar trees they seem to love but their other passtime is bombing garage door and freshly washed vehicles. Regards The Rebel

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Did the one the cat got look like the one in your photo? Did you know that they mate for life? If they looked similar, it may think it's him/her behind the windshield. Otherwise, it's just perching there. Once its mate is gone, they do not find another. :crying:

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Omigod that's so sad. Like penguins.:crying: :(:crying:

K9- maybe you good get him a mirror and a little house and put it close by to distract him from your truck.

Re: Damn Bird!
 

I call that...HUMMER ABUSE!!--Wash Everyday! :twak: :twak:--Pop the little fkr!..with a couple more you'd have yourself a mess!!...Tastes just like chicken! ;) :D

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Are you sure?? He/she is out there right now just looking at itself. I am not going to shoot it or kill it or anything like that. But I was thinking of puting a large towel over the windshield so it can't see itself any more. Or trap it and make it a pet... Crap! I have no clue.

Re: Damn Bird!
 

It has a nest near by, but hasn't used it since the mate was killed. I have no idea where it goes when I am not home.. I may try the mirror though.

OK now this is sad, it is raining now and it is still just huddled in the corner of the windshield... Ok I have to go scare it off so it will go find shelter...

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Well, OK, You'll have to use the TOUGH LUV technique!...Using cotton balls, (so you can't damage the bird or Finish on truck)....See bird land...Grab handfull of cotton balls...Cock arm so handfull of ball line up with shoulder......Swagger out the door--arm still cocked!...And just before the bird takes off...Fire those cotton balls!!....May take several attempts!....But, the bird will get the picture! :D :dancingbanana: :giggling: :D

Re: Damn Bird!
 

LMAO!!! :giggling:

I will let you know if that works..:D

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Ha! Gunna watch this movie tonight!

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Yes, I'm sure. We had something similar happen years ago. Long story short, I called the zoo and spoke to someone in the bird section (geez, can't think of the name). He told me pigeons (and yes, penguins) mate for life. It is seeing its reflection in your windshield (in our case, it was the window of a business we owned). It would huddle there 24/7 just looking at itself and cooing... rarely looking for food. Covering your windshield somehow with a towel sounds like a good idea. Good luck. :)

Re: Damn Bird!
 

Our local bird rescue will be comming over to see if they can catch it and take the dang Dove to another area where there are more Doves. They did say that it will not find another mate, but would live among the others.

Now if I could get animal control to be that willing to work and get the damn cat.

I have an awesome receipe for grilling dove. First you cut the bird down the middle gut it keep the liver. Take a pat of butter, fresh basil, garlic and the dove liver wrap with 2 slices of apple bacon stuff iti nto chest cavity, then wrap the outside of the chest area with one more slice of bacon use a toothpick to hold it all together the dry rub it with sea salt,rosemary and thymemixtur and toss on the grill low heat till done. Enjoy with a Pinot Grigio or a Dry Riesling

Mmm Yummy !

A very tasty way to get rid of pests:giggling:
