First it was the pigeon couple and their 3 kids eggs who were well established in the Boy’s bathroom when I moved in to our house. So I guess, I moved in to their house, really.
No issues, I was most excited ( I am strange about these things), and made it a point to take everyone coming over, to the bathroom and showed them the pigeons…I thought I’d let them be till the kids flew the nest and all since the bathroom wasn’t in much use at that time anyway. Of course everytime the light would be switched on, they made a huge rucus and had their displeasure known…anyway…
No sooner than were we done with this couple, that another started eyeing the Boys’s bathroom. And now it is in use so the Boy decided to eye that space closely and use discretion with keeping the ventilator open….It has confused the couple and they try their luck alternately between the kitchen window and his bathroom….
Then, a myna couple decides they like my bathroom and proceed with much enthusiasm to park their bums in the ventilator. Of course this myna is basically stupid because it is too FAT to enter the little space without causing much discomfort to itself…but it doesn’t listen. We kept trying to shoo them away and finally decided to shut the damn thing completely. Of course they’re parked on the AC now and make noise all the time, with their wings flapping and calls to each other. May be they’re making out or something. I don’t know.
Now that we’re done with the birds, we might want to move on to squirrels. Our bedroom faces a park and there’s a pretty gulmohar tree in full bloom right now…but I digress. The squirrels have decided that 5 am is a great time to scream their guts out, especially when they park themselves on the window sill in between running up and down the pipeline. So much so that we got up in alarm wondering what all that noise was. I insisted it was birds making that noise but the Boy investigated and showed me proof. Damn those squirrels.
And you remember the bat, don’t you?? And the lizard in the sink…well considering my fear of them, lizards might as well be dinosaurs.
I imagine it sounds all nice to be close to “natural” sounds, but trust me…pigeons stink, not to mention the 1000 diseases their poop carries…you really don’t want to know what squirrels sound like at 5 AM when u’re deep asleep…and mynas making out…well, you decide.
