move to a flat in london - no trees, no garden, no fence, no birds

other than that, take a poo sample down to homebase where theyll be able to colour match it and paint the fence that colour

Well I think i'm right in saying that a flamingo is a bird and I think i'm right in saying they can stand on one leg. I was therefore mearly trying to prove you wrong

Not sure Paul Mc Cartneys ex would stand on your fence crapping either, but stranger things have happened at sea

You need to go out with better quailty women, any bird who cr@ps on your fence should be considered bad news and a filthy slapper.

Oh and calling them birds will not help either, try using totty or biatches when referring to them.

Get a cat?

Have your family on a "Dance Like Kate Bush" rota in your garden... So 24/7 at least one of you is wailing and dancing like Kate Bush, thus scaring off the birds...

ok, all birds except your Garden fekking Flamingo can stand on one leg, so sharp nails on the fence then anyway.

seagulls can stand on one leg too, Lee, as can dirty wimins that Kev needs to speak to as for suggestions, take the fence down and replace it with some nice, evergreen shrubs

Get a model owl like they put on the boats to scare the seagulls off.

But then after years of growing a fine hedge, a mad neighbour will cut it down because it "looked a bit dry in the middle".

Kev, just invest in several thousand cocktail umbrellas - you've probably got loads of them anyway, considering the style of car you choose to drive, and glue them all along the top of the fence.

Great idea, Duck. The birds can babba down his fence utterly safe from the risk of sunstroke.

Would a seagull know what an owl was. Do you get many owls at sea? I thought they were land lubbers
