Dafoles says, I live in Brisbane we have these birds around the house they hang out in the trees as birds do, as soon as the sun comes up all they do all day is chirp. The same bird constantly chirps it never shuts up, it is loud and constant .. chirp chirp chirp chirp, it never changes there is no song or tune to it.

Its driving me bonkers especially when you have a group of these birds and they are all chirping at different times constantly, I have tried to figure out what type of bird it is .. only during spring – summer we have to put up with this. I think its just because I have been sitting in the same place all day .. the noise is just so irritating. WhirlpoolForum.

I am not the only sufferer it seems.

In order to fight a bird, you gotta start thinking like a bird. Eat bird food for the next week then I will teach you the way.

Yeah well this is not the only bird problem we have had .. previously a mob of crows who live further up into the hills moved in across the road, the racket they made went on all day .. we still get crows in fact there is one doin' his thing across the way at this time, however we haven't had anything like the previous massive incursion for a while.

Before that Spotted Turtledoves an introduced species called cuckoo birds here would be making a racket from morning to night .. one bull bird would get onto the power lines and let you have it all day, I calls 'em wog birds sometimes because they make eye contact with you the same way wogs do.

The way around that was to feed Butcherbirds which have a pathological hatred for that species, thus I was driving up the street coming home from work one day, and there was a butcherbird dragging the dead body of the same bull turtledove across the road, however feeding butcherbirds creates problems of its own .. they are a very aggressive species and will hold households to ransom just to get food.

Update: "The Grey Feathered Miner called "Australia's Most Hated Bird is a native honeyeater, famed for its aggression toward other species and its ability to take over whole areas."

This is the brute that's making all the noise imaged in Brisbane from between the louvers Jan. 5, 2023, the line the critter is perched on is my electrical supply, that's where they sit all day if they are further away it is not so bad, I am gonna have to learn to live with them and the noise they make I don't believe in harming native species in any case.

Aussie birds and their calls - new, revised version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhlE13EqjJk

Looks like 25 different bird calls. Identify yours, then you can find their likes and dislikes, and ways to discourage them.

Is the tree full of bugs or caterpillars they're eating? Are you close enough to spray into the tree top with pepper spray or gel? They might just scoff, but sometimes those owl decoys work.

Are they bell birds?

The cucaburra sound like wild howler monkeys, weird.

Buddy borrowed a shotgun for starlings on his ranch. They were smarter than him. Once they figured the range, they never came within it in his armed presence.

2 years later of no action (they starlings were visible in large numbers - but out of range) he gave me the shotgun back, epic fail.

In my Shire, the Eurobodalla, we have a cuckoo, I think it is, and it sounds artificial and like a warning noise on a Council sewerage outlet. Indeed when new to the Shire and hearing this constant noise I contacted the Council who told me it was probably a bird that drives everyone mad but they sent someone to check anyway.

But now I have a f..king wattle bird that does its thing at dawn every day. It's not a pretty sound.

Overkill, bro. Guns are for despatching home invaders.
