MORE: animals, birds, flying, gun, hot tub, pool, spa

This guy set up a motion activated sprinkler to keep pigeons from crapping up the ledge between his pool and hot tub. While I can understand this working in a garden by spraying animals before they eat something, I question its use here. I mean the first thing I do when I think I'm being shot at is empty my bladder and bowels, then cry. I'm sure the pigeons do the same. His only hope is that each individual bird learns it's lesson. *BANG* Not again. *sniffle, sob*

Hahahaha nice.

I wonder why the birds are so immediately drawn to that little ledge. I guess they've learned that it's close to the water.

Doesn't scaring birds usually CAUSE them to shit more?
