Mockingbird Remedy

A Helpful Reader by the name of Sarah emailed me this tip on getting rid of a troublesome mockingbird. The Massachusetts Audubon Society told her to use a tape recorder to record the mockingbird's song, then over the next few nights play it back over and over again until a) the mockingbird leaves thinking another mockingbird is taking over the territory, b) you are arrested for disturbing the peace, or c) you hang yourself using the cord from the tape recorder.
