It was pleasant after several days of my neighbor rattling an empty tub several times per day at the pigeons, to have some peace and quiet yesterday. I think perhaps the fact that my reacting to her 'nasty noise' by creating my own 'nasty noise' has taught her that I will stand up for my birds!
We are on friendly terms as a rule, and I would not want this to change, but there are more pigeons than people involved, so guess which side I go for if there is a squabble! Seriously, if there was a way to keep the pigeons away from her property whilst allowing them to enjoy our windowsills, alcoves, lawns and doorstep, I would be willing to put some finances into it, but in the lack of such, I have to stand up for my birds' rights to peace!
So it was quite pleasant that I could hear NO rattling for 24 hours and that both breakfast and dinner seed meals were eaten in peace by my feathered friends, yesterday. It was also pleasant that the white-faced heron came in to the yard again, after a week or so of absence. It may be far more silent than our noisy tribe of pigeons, which chase each other coo-fully across the roof, but it came quite close to the bedroom window and has gotten used to my face staring out at it. I failed to get any new photos, as I had my camera in the study, though.
