All the windows now have netting over them. Seems to be helping.

$0.64 cent glue traps from Lowes works. One catch the rest take heed. Not cruel, a little diluted rubbing alcohol is a through cleanup and release to captured bird. It only removes the oil in feathers when finished. The other birds never came back this season. I did let the captured Robin sit a while but none of the other's returned. I guess they are smarter than we think. Use double stick tape to apply trap to top of auto mirrors. The bird has some dirty looks but when you let him go he does not come back and is unharmed. The auto has sort of won the contest and territorial rights to the carport / driveway. The birds remain to feed at my feeders. Good luck! WEAR GLOVES!!! They PECK!!!

For the most part, the net has worked. But the ahole has woken me up today by body slamming the French doors endlessly. 🙄
I'm so tired, ear/throat infection showed up last night and a *new* smoke detector went off. Ugh. Battery died in it. But they're also hard wired. Wtf! I hate new technology, what a joke.
Well, guess the bird waking me is fine, I have a ton to do today before 9am. And it'll be 97F or hotter today...Why did my family leave cold Poland? Weather here is miserable. 😭 But I guess some women's rights and such is...was?...better here. Usa seems to be going to heck in a handbasket! Yikes!
Anyway...New chicks in the nest for these crazy birds...Got some video to post later. Barn swallows don't eat strawberries, right? Gonna fry the bird if it eats my berries...😅
