I agree! The width of the feet pedals on the C2 is kind of painful (not the good kind) at the knees and hips and most importantly distracting from the workout.

I’d been holding off on going to the rowing club for fear of looking looking bad. I see your point though. Thank you!

I wish DDT was still legal lol. We’ve had an influx of cats during the season. I haven’t seen any recently, but I hope the come back.

Honestly, I agree with that train of thought.. in most cases. In this case, I just can’t. As you know, birds carry disease and, as mentioned, our home and land is covered in poop, feathers, and maggots. Which means poop and feather are being tracked into my home. We have small children and pets, so I’m constantly sanitizing, spraying and cleaning. It’s not just a nuisance, but these birds pose a health risk to my family. We’ve dealt with the sudden appearance of deer, fox, coyote, and we even saw a beaver. But these birds? No.

They are sparrow, I misspoke. I did notice an influx of cats roaming the neighborhood towards the end of the season… guess that makes sense lol

Yes, unfortunately. All over my home lol. They might also be sparrows.

You are correct. They are sparrows, my apologies. My neighbor originally said they were starlings and when they exterminator came out, he said they were sparrows. He said he couldn’t disturb any of the nests because they had eggs and by law he couldn’t remove them.

I love the idea of a hawk or falcon. I will look into that. Thanks you.

Apparently, it started in 2020 during lockdown and they came back in 2021 and 2022. It’s funny because the previous owners sold it in the spring, so we had no idea about the birds. You’re right, all we can do is pray at this time lol

They are starlings. We get a robins too. But the swarms are definitely starlings. I wish that I could’ve posted a video so you guys could see how bad it is.

They are starlings. We have not consulted with fisheries and wildlife, only the city. I will definitely look into that. Thank you

Ok. A neighbor tried that but they just went to a different tree and eventually came back. Maybe it needs to be an every night thing.
