I have 2 or 3 cawing ravens in the neighborhood. They just
sit up on top of some tall trees and make noise all day.
Its time to get rid of them one way or another.
A very annoying bird.

Ravens or Crows. I want to get rid of these annoying
birds in my neighborhood. I've never cared about the Federal
government thus far and a damn annoying bird aint gonna
make me start now.

It is obvious you don't care about birds. You have come to the wrong place to
vent your anger at God's most wonderful creatures. This is a birding
newsgroup. We love birds here. Killing birds migratory birds is illegal. Go
away and leave us alone.

Just ask me if you want to know how I feel about birds.
I love birds. I HATE annoying CAWING ravens (in my
neighborhood) who sit on the top of tall trees ALL day
long and CAW at me every time I'm in my yard. If it was
once in a while who'd care. But it is ALL of the time.
I don't want to kill them but to drive them away. Although
if it continues like this and I can't drive them away... well...
