How do I get rid of the bird that is living in my tree that is way to loud?

Question

Over the last couple of days a bird has moved into the tree outside our house. This bird is LOUD it is awful and keeps us up at night. The tree is a willow so I cant really get up there to knock down the nest. The cats just sit and stare at the tree. Any good ideas to make it move on?

Answer 1

How about a strong stream of water (high pressure) from the garden hose to knock the nest down?  I have a cardinal that lives outside my bedroom window and it starts chirping really, really loud about 5:30 AM.  I thought about getting a shotgun and blasting it out of the tree, it is soooo irritating.  A big bang, a puff of red feathers, and then....silence.

Answer 2

Get ear plugs and leave the poor bird alone. We've destroyed so much habitat for the birds  it's a wonder there's anything singing out there at all. It will move on once the chicks leave the nest. And by the way, it is illegal to disturb wildlife - call the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service and see what they say.

Answer 3

I say you should buy a f**t bomb and try to trow it up there or something, the bird shouldn't come back if has sense.

Answer 4

Buy an artificial owl.  You should be able to find them in the garden section of K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc.  

Sometimes they do work.

Answer 5

Watch Out With The Stupid Cops Go Get A Gun And Shoot It... Seriously Watch Out With The Cops You Could End Up Going Jail...

there's these shiny ribbons you can get at home depot or wal mart; and you tie them to branches and the colors scare the bird away.
