I want to thank everyone for their suggestions (and making me laugh about it 
). I really appreciate it. It seems to have turned into a huge comedy of errors. There is me running around outside trying all kinds of crazy things to keep them off the vehicles and arguing with my husband since he just wants to blast any robin that lands within a two acre radius of the yard.
So far the only thing I have managed to accomplish is a distal radius fracture in my left wrist and a trip to the ER. The robins continue to sit and poo...and poo...and poo...and mock me.
nerdyrcdriver- I'm sorry. I realize that your post was entirely in jest and not at my expense..well maybe.. but it was not intended to be mean!
I blame the fact that I read it while my brain was floating in a wash of vicoden and tizanadine.:crazy: I've switched to plain old advil now.
My daughter and I are in the planning stages of our scarerobin and hope to finish it today. Husband has promised not to shoot anything else until I have given this a go. Not that I think it would do more than scare them off...he's a HORRIBLE shot.
On the upswing. I was sitting on the back deck drinking coffee this morning, hoping my presence would scare away the robins and I watched a pair of Canadian Geese walk their 3 wee goslings through the yard and across out into the huge field. I'm not sure where they came from and even less sure on where they were going since ponds are few and far between in this area, but it was really cool to watch.
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone!! If anyone comes up with a great idea, PLEASE let me know. Until then..the battle continues.
