Topband: Why do rodents eat coax?

[David Harmon]

I had one of those Owls too.
It took several months for me to figger out why there were so many dead
birds laying on the ground with huge grins on their beaks.
It was easier to work in the garden than sweep up them birds.
The owl joined the birds....but without a grin.
My wife laughed so hard that for a while I thought I was gonna have to fling
her in the can with them birds....
And the owl.

How about battery-powered plastic owls, with a motion detector? One of those
fastened to a corner fence post worked to keep birds away from a 16'x16'
vegetable garden we used to have 11 years ago. When motion is sensed
(birds), its eyes flashed and it played recorded whoo-whoo-whoo owl sounds.
