1) deterring Wonga pigeons 2) large attachments

[David Stewart <>]

1) I have just had a desperate call from a friend who has a problem with a
constantly calling pair of wonga pigeons. The constancy and frequency of the
calls, which appear to be directed at her, are exacerbating an already
stressed state associated with a mental condition.  She is interested in
trying to deter or move them by reflecting the sound back to them (like a
reverse laser gun??????????).  Any ideas please!

2) Large attachments. The recent Academic Tour posts appear not to have been
directed through Birding Aus but rather thru a mailing list developed from a
list of Birding Aus subscribers (ours came to our old email address, not
this one). So there is not anything Russell can do to block them.  I am
inclined to find an address for Mary White, whose work I greatly admire
(thru her publisher?) and make sure she undersatnds the unprofessional
conduct of the company she is associated with.

Cheers,

Barbara
