Human kill more than any other animal on this planet and take over natural habitats. We are the invasive species that shouldn’t be let loose.

Let's do it!

I provide decoy tree so they won't notice

You clearly don't understand what it's like trying to get a parking space on a British street. There *aren't* any other spaces. You take what you can and count yourself lucky that it's on the same road that your house is.

Becky, listen love. Birds have a basic right to sit in trees. These spikes (if real, I have my doubts) are disgusting. Birds poop on our car sometimes. It's no big deal and we actively encourage these beautiful creatures by having bird feeders in the garden. I live on a British street as well but I embrace my feathered friends.

There's a big difference between a few poops, and hundreds of purple, berry-filled acidic poops that burn through your paintwork. Unless you know the specific circumstances then you don't know why this particular tree is as it is.

Buy a cover to throw on your car?

Wash your fecking car, or even better, get rid of it and take the tube. Leave the birds alone

DuchessDegu Really? Do you think there's only one city in the whole of the UK? Public transport isn't a viable choice for everyone.

*inhale* it's a tree, you cannot get mad at birds for sitting in a tree, they legit did nothing wrong, they don't aim for your car when they s**t, so calm down.

Becky. Nobody agrees with you. It is a diabolical, cruel thing to do to a tree and unfair on the birds. We built this world around the birds. Leave them alone and if poop on your car is an issue then get the bus. If you can’t use public transport for whatever vague reason you haven’t gave you must and will put up with the poop.

I don't have a problem with these spikes personally. It's real, looked it up, happened in Bristol. 1. there are plenty of branches for birds to sit elsewhere, 2. these are deterrents, they don't harm/kill birds. You can see plenty of these in train stations, on fences and no one bats an eyelid. It's a form of pest control and nothing else

i certainly bat an eyelid whenever i see those damn spikes everywhere. they're so disturbing. first we cut down the trees birds live in, then put spikes on the buildings that replace them & the few trees that remain. it's sick. they were here first, let them live their lives alongside ours. you don't like their poo? they don't like our litter, pollution, deforestation, climate change, animal cruelty, & light pollution that messes with how they evolved to live with natural daylight cycles. i can't imagine being so heartless as to not give a second thought every once in a while to the innocent animals victimized every single day due to civilization. shame on you.

loved what you wrote. if you really meant it, let's kill ourselves off as human species, basically everything was here before us. Are you in? If you just want to live "peacefully" along all animals and plants, next time you'd use tick spray on your pet or kill a mosquito/ant, how dare you? they just do what they evolved to do. I would also complain to your local council for wrapping Xmas lights on trees every year. It's sentient creatures damaged to entertain humans

the funny thing is, my cats stay indoors & don't need tick repellent. i refrain from killing or squashing any & all bugs, & my friends call me the bug whisperer because i like to gently pick them up & put them out of harm's way if they're in a place they could easily get crushed. i swat mosquitos away without actually killing them. i also hate christmas lights for their unnecessary light pollution & waste of electricity. i'm not as hypocritical as you'd like to think.
