Guinea fowl

Lovely birds, lovely eggs, terribly noisy and love exploring

Failing that I'd be making sure I spread some feed in the direction of his garden

You could always get a couple of pigs - that would soon stop him moaning about the birds

I can't believe anyone would moan about wild birds.......what a sad individual

Take him round a bucket of hot water with squeezy liquid in it and a car sponge

Wow! They'll be wanting someone to net the sky and stop all birds coming over next! How unreasonable!

Can you move the table to the other side of the garden as a compromise? (Although I'd be more than tempted to get a few more feeders in myself, I must admit!) I very much doubt, however, that you are the only person feeding birds within flying distance of your neighbour's trampoline!! Might be worth pointing this out next time... My own personal view is that we need more bird feeders and less trampolines in the world anyway!! Which ones will do more long-term good...?!

Our trampoline is no more ...... very dangerous ..... son had torn ligament and surgery to replace it due to his trampoline antics.

The birds did miss it though. They used it as a perch. They actually liked sitting on it more than sitting in the trees. Think the padded rim around the top of the net was kind of comfy.

They did poop all over it. The children didn't mind though. Just bounced in it.

I think a few germs have been found to be good for children.

Ridiculous neighbours - we've all had 'em. Don't know whether to laugh at them or cry for them and their view of the world.

Oooh - you're all so wicked

not wicked, this isn't exactly a forum where anyone's going to say make the cute little birdies starve to save a trampoline needing a wipe with a damp cloth...

i actually feel the general suggestions on here have been quite tame...

my first thought was tie the neighbour to the trampoline and super glue birdseed all over them...

but apparently that's not allowed, Mrs B. said i'd be in trouble for inciting violence or some such...
