My little tweety birds seem to have also perfected some sort of hybrid clog/flamenco/riverdance routine which they perform on the roof above my bedroom window as their song was clearly not enough. |

"Our house is surrounded by woodland and farms. At this time of year by 4am it sounds like every bird within a 5 mile radius has a megaphone  "

We love the dawn chorus over in the UK, but in Asia it has different connotations - It is the sound of every guy in the hotel/area coughing the phlegm out of their throats. Pretty sure the O.P. will appreciate our chorus more after doing a little travel x |

" Love it. Cheer up you grumpy bastards, it's awesome!! 
At 4am  "
Used to love listening to it at the time, leaving the crew room at an airport to go and throw some passengers baggage in a plane. No aircraft engines running, no brake cooling fans, just the birds. |

Never ever invest in guinea fowl. They are noisy heathen bastards.
Also owls that hoot all night. I love owls don't get me wrong but they are seriously noisy and always sat outside my bedroom window. |

"I’d rather the birds tweeted than no birds but I’d rather they tweeted a bit later.
Would be great if we could put a timer on them! "
Imagine if all the birds had their own alarm clocks though. |

The dawn chorus is actually rival gangs of birds slagging each other off. It may sound lovely but What they’re actually saying is ‘Your nest is shit mate. You live in a shit nest, in a shit tree. You haven’t got bird flu mate, you’ve got chicken syphilis!’ |

"And a cockerel crowing......those things want necking "
There's about 4 of the feckers within 50ft of my house in the village. If I thought I'd get away with it I'd shoot them!  it's not a noise I've got used to after them arriving 2 years ago. |

Buy an air horn and set your alarm for 30 mins before dawn. Go outside and give your newly purchased air horn a few blasts and see how the little fuckers like it up them.
Alternatively, buy ear defenders. |

This morning something was banging on the window, I pulled the blind up expecting to see a bird on the window sill but no... It was a BEE constantly bumping against the window... We have double glazing so I can only assume it was packing some extra weight! |

"Mine is a car exhaust between 6:45 and 6:50. I am considering putting a traffic cone out or stepping from behind a parked car wagging my finger. "
If it is excessive report online to the police, had an idiot fit a race can to a scooter. He revved the arse of it between 10pm and 1am, reported him and he fitted the original. |

I've been trying to get rid of a headache all evening. If they wake me up early I'm chucking miniature Yankee Candles at their tree. |

Wow...Sounds great. We used to see a barn owl near us hunting during the day, which would suggest they had young in the nest |

"I don't mind if they sing.. it's the seagulls shaped like bowling balls wearing tackity boots dancing about on my roof at 4am that have me riled.  "
They are a nightmare, remember them when we used to go on caravan holidays, when I was young! |
