EEVblog #157 - Angry Birds

Tangent time. Dave can't shoot his latest blog because of some angry birds.

I was tricked :(

I thought you were gonna talk about that game

[EEVblog]

@Gameboygenius Yeah, but at least the crickets are less annoying I guess! Hard to do the blog at night, SWMBO usually has a say in it...

@EEVblog We are in the same boat here in the Dominican Republic. A license is needed. The christmas before the congress approved it, people bough a LOT of them and they seemed to last for 2 or 3 years.

You can use potassium nitre with powdered sugar to make some tiny poppers that would scare them off. I presume you can get it in australia as well, as for it in a gardening shop.

@Wragie You don't understand. The idea is to REDUCE the ambient noise at his house. :-)

[CampKohler]

@Wragie I recently read that 47% of bird preditors are housecats. What is needed here is a flying housecat.

Am I the only one getting messed up audio?

[EEVblog]

@hitachi088 Fireworks are illegal here :-(

[FabricatedLife]

haha I know exactly how you feel, Australia must have the noisiest birds in the world. We even had magpies that used to start singing EVERY morning at 1am...

[bytefree]

Quietly Annoying .... but you can use them to upgrade yout HTP start-up sound.

[czarwright]

who is the maker of your garage doors ? Love them and the birds too :op

[technoguy]

@EEVblog They're illegal here too, but we still use 'em. xD

[stridermtk]

I can think of at least two things wrong with the title of this post.

[danz]

thought he was going to do something with the game "angry birds" lol

[RandyLott]

Those birds are insane haha! It almost sounds like a bunch of teenage girls bickering.

[floydiangreen]

buy a roo shoo, that will see all wild life within the area go away

[rainbowsalads]

@First2ner yep very tempting, although they are nesting now, all those baby birds need feeding. without parents they die.

[DaedalusYoung]

@EEVblog You could try blowing up a multimeter then.

[BarriosGroupie]

I thought you were playing the Angry Birds game which is very popular at them moment.

[altradude]

Spudgun!!! that would move them along.
