I Am Miffed
A couple of weeks ago I planted a variety of herbs, all from seed, in a massive planter. Every day I've diligently watered and fed them and was rewarded by a flush of green as my little darlings sprouted and took their first err - steps - towards the light and leafy goodness. I was proud.

Got up this morning and went to water them to find a scene of carnage. Some avian fuckwits had taken into their heads to uproot and scatter all of my precious seedlings. They didn't eat them. They just wrenched them out of the ground and scattered their bodies into the full glare if the harsh Ozzie sun.

Fuckit. I'm buying a gun. No more Mr Nice Guy.

Cheers

i reckon your reaction is more to do with the guilt you feel as a result of not caring for the wee plantlings properly...
just saying, like...

Netting And Canes?
Catch the little bastards in a net and then cane them? - Brilliant!

Than bake them in a pie
A herby pie, made with herby pastry. Make sure you leave it on the windowsill for all the other birds to see and learn about, and tell their children to make them behave.

"You see little tweety, if you don't behave, the Pie Man will come for you with his sticks and net, and shove a sprig of rosemary right up your.."

Don't forget.
When making bird pie the feet should be left sticking through the crust.
