We have a MAJOR bird problem here on the farm.Nasty nests everywhere in the barn, messy bird poop on everything,have had lice on horses from birds, pigeons flying around and nesting(knocked down a nest today and smashed 2 eggs in it)bird nests under the hoods of every truck, van and tractor on the property and today was the Ultimate.Karl was using the IH cub tractor in his garden and it caught on fire from a bird nest that he missed when cleaning out way in the back of the tractor.He was in the middle of the field so had to throw dirt on fire to keep tractor from full flames and major explosion.Thankfully he wasn't hurt, but tractor can't be used.Hoses¢er console are melted¬ sure yet what other damage was done by fire.Of course, it's not insured and the 1 tractor that has a bucket and the 1 most used on the farm.If I could kill every bird on the farm with some kind of poison without hurting the other animals right now I would do it.This is the second fire we have had in a vehicle.I have a nest of birds in my big dually truck.They are in the liner of the hood-you can hear them chirp when you raise the hood.That truck also has a nest up in a wheel well cover and the only way to remove that is to take part of the truck apart.My dogs get covered in bird poop when they are out in the yard to play.My car looks like it has been used for target practice.We don't have really pretty birds, just really nasty ones.I really hate birds.I wish they would find someplace else to live.They make a lot of extra work for me and are costing me money which right now is in short supply.Any suggestions for getting rid of birds would be greatly appreciated.Invested in 1 of those electronic things to scare birds-lots of money didn't scare birds away-only made horses nervous and jumpy.
