How do I get rid of an annoying bird that chirps all night long?

There is this freakin bird that comes around to our house at night and I guess it has a nest up in a tree or something, but it literally chirps ALL night long. There is no intermission, there is no relief, and consequently there is no sleep.

I am losing my mind. I really must find a way to get this bird to move on. Please someone help me get rid of this bird!
Please I am begging you!

Thanks

turn on your water hose to chase away birds...or, burn newspapers underneath the tree?

sling shot

no but seriously just find the tree with the nest in it during the day and knock it down itll probably go away

no seriously a pellet gun

Try using a fan at night.It just might do the trick.

Call the spca

Buy earplugs and wait out the breeding season. The bird is likely a mockingbird, and your house is in its territory. When the breeding season is over (it should only be another month or so), the bird will move on. It is illegal to harm, harrass, or kill this bird, or any migratory bird, per the Federal Migratory Bird Act.

Maybe you could call a wildlife sanctuary/group. They will identify the bird and give you some tips for that species. They might even be able to relocate it for you. In the meantime invest in some earplugs I guess!

Sounds like a mockingbird.The Northern Mockingbird, in addition to being a good mimic, is also one of the loudest and most constantly vocal of birds. It often sings through the night, especially unmated males, or when the moon is full. It sings year-round except sometimes for the late-summer moulting season. Individual males have repertoires of 50 to 200 songs; females sing as well, but more quietly and less often than males. Mockingbirds usually sing the loudest in the twilight of the early morning when the sun is on the horizon.
It's looking for a mate since it's spring, but once spring is over, it will go away. For now, try earplugs..sorry, they're protected. Or maybe you could learn to appreciate their song and make up a dance to it! Good Luck!

throw something at it

paintball gun.

A pellet gun would be more accurate, but be carefull. A lot of towns these days have made air rifles illegal. Shoot it out the window. Seriously! Why go through the discomfort of ear plugs? No one will see you shoot the darn thing. Shoot it and bury it in your garden. It's the circle of life.

chirp with it!
annoy it more than you get annoyed and you'll be saying arevadechi soon to dat bird

Buy a cat?

If it has a nest up in a tree near your place, then it can't be helped. Just bear with it because the young of birds grow up pretty fast and they would soon move on. Don't try to move the nest or hurt the birds, they have a right to raise their precious young as well. I understand that you need your sleep and it can be frustrating when the sounds don't stop, but just please bear with it for the love of a living thing.

Home and garden stores sell life like replicas of owls. The eyes glow like an owl, and they fool the birds.
Worked like a charm for a while.

Then a neighbor got a sun conure. You think you have no sleep? Try listening to that bird scream morning and night. Can't do anything about it either, it's her pet, in a cage, not a wild bird that could go else where.

---

try throwing/shooting a rock or a cube of ice at the branches of the tree, with the aim to miss the bird and make as loud a rustling noise as you can. Hopefully it'll scare it off

If you find a nest, it'll be better to call your local wildlife group, they would be able to help.

I have the same freaking problem and it's DRIVING ME NUTS. I hope the answer above is correct, and this annoying little feathered demon will indeed take off after mating season, it's just that, at this point, I can't remember a time when I didn't hear it making noise all night sounding like a frigging CAR ALARM RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT.

But, actually, I think this only started in the last month or two, so maybe there is hope.

I know that my brother has shot these guys before with a pellet gun. I'd really like to avoid that, but if this keeps up too much longer, I might have to resort to it. For now Ill exhaust other options... maybe try a fake owl as another poster suggested.

Good luck!
