Mocking Menace Monday

I don't know if you know how much of a pacifist I am, but I have never killed anything more than a bug in my life. I have a no-kill policy - live and let live I say. I would break that policy in a minute though, if I could get my paws on the Mocking Menace.

How tweet it isn't!

This seemingly innocent looking bird has made all of our lives miserable as of late. We thought a whole flock of song birds had taken up residence in the yard. Day and night it's a constant stream of tweets - surely it's a flock we thought. Well friends it's all the work of the Mocking Menace and it's mate. Yes, there are two of them (let's hope they are not making more!). When I go outside they CAT-CALL ME! This is unacceptable.

  1. Uh oh, sounds like trouble...and where there are 2 this time of year, there's bound to be more of the little pests soon. We can come help...Cecilia is a champion huntress. I'm fairly useless, even with bugs. I just want to play.

  2. That is totally unacceptable. They should see you and fly away in terror. Maybe they know of your policy and that's why they're in your tree?

  3. Watch out! If there are two, there are sure to be more soon.

  4. We had a bird like that outside our house recently. It would shout at Cosmo whenever she came outside. Blimmin' rowdy!

  5. Better be careful, Fin. We remember one of those mockers who would dive-bomb squirrels on the ground. They're not all bark and no bite.

  6. You might have to leave out some brochures about housing in other areas for them to read over. If there are two, there is bound to be more soon.

  7. Hard to believe 2 of them can make so much noise! And they probably are making more. You gotta show them who's boss of your yard, Fin!

  8. Do you want me to send you our resident kookaburras? They make such a din that your twit of the Mocking Menace will be drowned in no time.

  9. My... If they make more of them... then there will be little ones flying around soon! My big human sister has done bird rescue... on birdies that got bit by kitties!

  10. Fin, they are breeding and the only way to put a stop to this mocking mob is to eat at least one of them now.

    PS: I am currently tormented by a Blackbird that has learned to mimic the sound of a lorry reversing warning tune. I shall have a tuneful lunch one day very soon.

  12. Clearly they do not know who they are dealing with.

  13. Those birdies need to learn some respect. I think you need to teach them a lesson Fin!!

  14. That Mocking Menace sounds like a real pest!

  15. Perhaps you just need to establish some diplomatic relations with this tweeter and inform him of the rules of the property. I'm sure once you do that, he'll see the error of his ways and correct his behavior.

  16. Oh dear and the birdie looks so cute too! he shudn't mock you though - that's norty.

  17. Hmmm, we're wondering what kind of bird that is (just so we can look out for them in our Summer House)... and they're soooo rude to cat-call you!

  18. If you hang out under the tree they would surely leave in some time. Use earplugs while you're lounging under the tree. Tee hee.

  19. We're sorry to tell you this Fin, but they are probably making more! Good luck!

  20. You can't blame them for wanting to serenade you, but I agree that the catcall is unacceptable.

  24. Hey Fin, when I go down in flames in Kitty Fight Club this week, I'm hoping you'll join me and Siena and Sweet Praline and all the other kitties who don't make the final in a big bucketful of niptinis!
