Pigeons outside my window at 5.30 am chanting "United"

3blokes

This has been going on for about 2 weeks now and it's bad enough that the club is in a mess but each morning to be woken up by about 3 ( I'm guessing but it's deffo more than 1) pigeons chanting what sounds like a cooing rendition of "United United" is too much. :-(
The problem now when I wake up is that although I know it is just a couple of pigeons warbling to their mates, in my sleep deprived head it STILL SOUNDS like effing " United, united" and it goes on for about 10 minutes until an equally considerate neighbour bangs his car door on his way to work and frightens the little bastards away.

Borrow a cat, or a shot gun.

No need to get in a flap about it

Problem will soon fly over.

i know exactly what you mean it does sound like that!

the lad upstairs put some spikes outside the top window and they'v stopped perching - havent had any united since that day.

DA9

Do they have a pecking order?

Bicarb of soda wrapped in bread. Messy but explosive.

You'd be more worried if they started singing Mambo No 5

Since I saw the film Finding Nemo, everytime the seagulls go mad outside our house I am convinced they are saying 'mine, mine, mine, mine'

Drives me nuts!!!!!!

Are you sure they're pigeons and not collared doves? According to my book, pigeons call in 5 syllables "ru-ghu-gu gu-gu" and doves in 3 "gu-ghu-gu". So the 3-syllable doves could be calling "U-ni-ted" and the 5-syllable pigeons could be calling "Charl-ton Ath-le-tic"!

But maybe that wouldn't be much consolation at 3.00am.

You have too much time on your hands.

Vodka explosives and shotguns all good solutions everyone ;-)
The most frustrating bit about it is that the little bleeders do it intermittently but just enough to keep you from going back to sleep. I find myself laying there almost waiting for the next "united" so I can tut and bang my head on the pillow.
The missus also hears them but says they're "just pigeons."
They know nothing about football do they? ;-)

Ah my medication is here ......
