Curse of the Pigeons…
Sunday, November 14th, 2010It’s coming up to 7:30am on another beautiful morning in the Penh. Why am I up so early on a Sunday morning you ask? Well, as a matter of fact, I have been up for more than the last hour and half, solely due to a pigeon that continues to terrorise my slumber…
This is not the first morning that the pigeon has woken me from a blissful sleep and prevented me from returning to my dreams. It’s been going on for weeks and now it’s getting personal. All efforts to deter them from perching on our roof, swating at them with the broom and banging on the ceiling, have failed miserably. The purchase of a BB gun has recently crossed my mind, but sadly I can’t get the leverage needed to shoot the annoying buggers, from the small confines of my balcony.
So brazen are these little critters that they have even plucked up the courage to perch themselves on the railing of our balcony and window bars. They are now only a small step away from taking up residence in our apartment. Fred tells me to ignore them and I would if I could, but their incesent cooing, is too much for me to bare…
An extensive internet search this morning has not produced any welcome solutions and I have come to the conclusion that I am quickly running out of options… Nothing left to do now than to tell the landlady and hope that she gets one of her sons to climb onto the roof and install a row of spikes to stop the little demons from landing. Only time will tell if this solves the problem and when my sleep is no longer under threat from these dirty, slumber polluting nuisances, you’ll all be the first to know…
