Our Noisy Neighbor!!!

4:00 am and we are having flashbacks to the movie "Failure to Launch" where the roommate seems a little over the top about killing a bird that is chirping outside her window. Now we understand her completely and think that maybe some of her ideas are pretty good. Yes, we have a noisy little nocturnal bird that has taken up residence in the tree right outside of our bedroom window. The amazing thing is that this bird can mimic every car alarm noise created by man (at the same volume). However, we were not appreciating the talent by 4am when this had gone on all (did I mention all) night. First we tried clapping, that didn't get rid of it, so then we through water at the tree... that worked for 5 min. Finally in an act of desperation my husband started launching ice cubes at the tree, I think more for his gratification than actually expecting to hit the bird in the dark... but ahhhh all to no avail. We are hoping that tonight will be a different story or we may have to run out to Walmart and get a Supersoaker.
