CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 2, 2012 Cactus Wren....not a woodpecker??? Could be? The beak is kind of curved? Curve-billed thrasher There maybe a cactus wren in there too, I would have to watch it again. I will wait awhile so people can watch it and come up with their own list before I post the actual. nontypical, you did pretty good, but I believe there are more than that. the red-headed sparrows are actually called House Finches the big black bird you saw is a great-tailed grackle and yes there were some cardinals there is no road runner....not sure which one you thought was that one...maybe the curve-bille thrasher and the yellow birds are the lesser golfinches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 3, 2012 Yes, that dog was my old Molly....she died several years ago. But she liked to walk by there and go sit on the wall and watch the neighbors dogs and kids. The kieds would give her treats sometimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJMauro12 Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Quit feeding. if they don't leave use the gopher bait from Ace Hardware. its about $13 bucks and you'll have dead pigeons all over the place. I would try to quit feeding for awhile and then use it and maybe you wont kill as many non target birds. Works great tho if you want some dead birds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norteno Report post Posted November 6, 2012 I would second the Alka Seltzer. Used to do that as a kid for fun. All the birds might eat it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are prolific breeders that pass on their questionable DNA to the offspring D.) They won't go away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.smith Report post Posted February 2, 2013 You could easily build a pigeon trap. Probably quite cheaply. It is very similar to a box type crawfish trap only bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I would like to take a slingshot and bag of marbles to the Dem voters, I would probably go to jail........and the Fed's would take away my marbles and .......ban my slingshot!

ctafoya Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Go to the pound and adopt a bunch of cats. Feed em gun powder to make em crazy and beat em with dead pigons. They'll end up being the perfect pigon killers. Just don't tell PETA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
