...we have a bird in the tree right by our bedroom window, that starts chirping in the middle of the night, and does not stop until morning. What is it doing, and is there something I can do to quiet it up?

Don't stop it. We need the sun.

4. I hear there are some feral cats that need a reprieve. |
|
Per haps if they did a little favor for you, you might be able to put in a good word for them?

I suggest earplugs or maybe the classic Bose noise-cancelling headphone. You're not allowed to hunt or harass them by federal law. Cats do not discourage them, in fact, they are one of the species that does more than its share to harass cats. It's claiming territory. The singing will stop in August, July if we have a hot one.
Few other species sing by night. Well, there's always Whip-Poor-Will and Chuck's-Will's-Widow but I never hear them where I live. I used to wonder why Chuck's-Will's-Widow didn't drive everyone mad who lived in their territory.
The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country. --John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

Or burn the house. You won't hear the bird in those locations any longer.

10. Thanks ... it WAS intended to be a joke. |
|
Sorry if I offended anyone. Somedays it just pays to keep one's innane humor to oneself. Next time, I will.

11. Nah, don't censor yourself too quickly. I think most people got the joke. |

It's the Lounge, after all. :)

12. My mistake, IB. I'm sorry. |
|
I confess I'm quick to take offense when I am sick. *snif*
Don't keep your humor to yourself. :bounce:
