RKW, Good one! FUD, you gotta get right with God! A New Jersyite transplant in Florida. No wonder! To heck with it, I say, don't worry about the birds go after the neighbors! You could always go to your friendly farm supply and by an electric fence charger and string isolators and wires on your roof peak. Then turn the thing up on "fry"! That will stop them for less than the $300 fully auto bb gun and you will have a lot of fun listening to birds not liking the power of electric current! P.S. I live in the county with 17 acres, I regularly go out the back door and shoot off a few rounds with my private range I'm not joking it's out the back door. The I've actually invited the neighbors for a little pistol training. They pretty much know not to mess with the friendly SOB next door but we have no zoning. There are rumors about it comming before the end of the year and you can bet if it does I will be at the county commissioner's meeting discussing my rights to continue my target practice (I need to you know, I have to practice for IDPA competition) so far so good!
