My green veg has been destroyed by the damned birds, the sprouts and
another, whose name I cannot remember, have been decimated by the *******
birds, how can I stop the damned things from getting at the green veg?

yummy.

Better than magpie?..... ;-)))

Better than wrung neck parakeet?

They haven't reached Leics yet.

They're getting closer by the season. Two years max - then you'll have a
multi coloured, longer tailed magpie type to haunt you :-)) And they are
so noisy; much more so than the original b & w version.

If they don't steal eggs from my chickens, or wild birds and don't attack
chicks of either species I can cope if they arrive here. I think!
Noise would not particularly bother me.
I doubt they are a protected species so if they were to even touch my
poultry they would be ex-parakeets.
Other than that I will await their arrival and see how we get on ;-)

One of our neighbours has a cat, which seems to think my garden belongs to
it, but it hasn't, so far, realised that it should be keeping the damned
birds away, how do you train them?

I've been associated with cats for at least 70 years, and it is not easy to
trian them, in fact it is usually the other way round, they train their
keepers!(:-)

I've bought 5 foot long rubber snakes to keep the birds out of my
garden. For the rubber snakes to be effective in keeping birds away you
must move the rubber snakes around in the garden every day. If the birds
see the snake in the same spot every day they'll assume the snake is
dead and come down and try to peck at it but moving them around confuses
the bird brains.

Keepers?
I think you mean their providers or their humans.

Not at all. He means their servants, or so my cat would have you believe

Birds are becoming a considerable problem in our society. Bird droppings can also cause serious liability risk. The acidic nature of pigeon droppings wears down structures such as bridges and buildings. i am also suffering a great problem due to these bloody birds.

Nearly as much as some species of people (trolls for example).
