aaah just what i need for those Indian myna birds..

I remember last year some kid in the states made one for a couple of hundred bucks using parts from the hardware store, a laptop and an airsoft gun (basically an air rifle). It was capable of detecting movement and could pick the difference between a person and background objects. wish I could find the link....

Oh wait, here it is...

I was considering building it for the neighbour's cat... :D

DM,

Is the neighbours' cat having problems with someone else's dog, or are you helping it keep the Mynah bird and annoying neighbour count down?

Regards,

Rob

Actually I think it needed help with annoying neighbour's cars - particularly the one that skittled it a few months back. bird population has been feeling rather safe ever since...
